* Run `adduser` to give yourself a user account. _Do not_ use root indiscriminately.
* Run `MAKEDEV` to create devices in `/dev` for your hard disk and other required devices.
* Since the Hurd does not use `ld.so.conf`, you will want to specify where the X Window System keeps its libraries. Do this by adding the following line to your `/etc/profile`: <br />`export LD_LIBRARY_PATH='/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib'`
- * `/etc/cron.daily/find` to allow `locate` to function.

+ * Hopefully Mach will recognize your hardware. If it doesn't you have to recompile in most cases.
+ * copy over your `/etc/resolv.conf` from GNU/Linux to allow your DNS to resolve correctly.
* Prepare system for new packages.
* a recommended `/etc/apt/sources.list`: <br /><code>deb <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/debian> unstable main <br /> deb <ftp:/ftp.debian.org/debian> unstable main <br /> deb-src <ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian> unstable main</code>
* There are some extremely useful cross-platform 'apt' tricks that can be used to get packages when using Debian GNU/Linux (possibly others) for installation on the Hurd. This is especially useful if your Hurd doesn't recognize your network card. The steps are covered in the file =/usr/share/doc/apt/offline=\* which has been used by several Hurd developers successfully.
