There are currently four methods to install GNU
-1. Tarball - Neal Walfield's [guide](http://web.walfield.org/papers/hurd-installation-guide/english/hurd-install-guide.html) is excellent and available in several formats. It is the guide that the Hurd community always references first. The GNU official [installation page](http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/install.html) is the canonical reference. See [[Distrib/TarballNotesHome]] for more info.
+1. Tarball - The current documentation, for the tarball method, are [Debian's installation instructions](http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install), based on the original guide by Neal Walfield. The GNU official [installation page](http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/install.html) is the canonical reference. See [[Distrib/TarballNotesHome]] for more info.
2. [[Distrib/BochsEmulator]] is an x86 emulator similar to the propietary [[Distrib/VmWare]] (which is not supported). See the [[Distrib/BochsEmulator]] page for more info. The Bochs project hosts a preinstalled GNU image that is periodicaly updated. You can get the latest one [here](http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12580).
3. [CD-ROM iso images](http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-cd) CD-ROM installs are becoming more and more popular. The CDs are based on the most current tarball at release time. See [[Distrib/CDNotesHome]] for more info.
4. The [crosshurd](http://packages.debian.org/crosshurd/) Debian package, which can be used instead of a tarball to install the base system. This is the recommended way to proceed.
