+I’m currently preparing a qemu image for the Hurd which allows testing the capabilities of the Hurd with as little effort as possible. 
+
+**Work in progress. These are my in-development notes.**
+
+For that I want to use: 
+
+* An up to date debian image (no longer online, but I have a copy here). 
+* My [Hurd Intro](http://bitbucket.org/ArneBab/hurd_intro), 
+* Translators from [hurd-extras](http://www.nongnu.org/hurdextras/) and the [incubator](http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/incubator.git/), and naturally
+* a lot of apt-get update; apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade :) (all worked flawlessly). 
+
+## Hurdextras
+
+    hg clone <hurdextras repo>
+
+## Tarfs
+
+    cd hurdextras/tarfs
+    make
+    make install
+    tar -cf test/intro.tar repos/hurd_intro 
+    settrans -ac t test/intro.tar
+    (settrans: /hurd/tarfs: Translator died :( ⇒ more work to do )
+
+## nsmux
+
+    git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/hurd/incubator.git nsmux
+    cd nsmux/
+    git checkout -b nsmux origin/nsmux
+
+    apt-get install autoconf autoconf-archive
+    autoreconf -i -f
+    ./configure
+    make
+    make install
+    
+    cd ../..
+    mkdir test
+    settrans -c test2 /usr/local/bin/nsmux test
+    tar -cf test/intro.tar repos/hurd_intro 
+    ls test2/intro.tar,,tarfs
+
+## clisp
+
+    git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/hurd/incubator.git clisp
+    cd clisp/
+    git checkout -b clisp origin/clisp
+
+    apt-get install texi2html
+    make
+    make install
