-
-- What do you mean "GNU", the GNU Hurd?
-
-Yes and no. See <http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/faq.en.html#q1-2>
-
-- Where are...?
-
-Latest version of this FAQ: <http://hurd.gnufans.org/bin/view/Hurd/BochsFAQ>
-
-Latest GNU image for Bochs: [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group\_id=12580](http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12580)
-
-- Disk line for .bochsrc?
-
-for Bochs 2.0 or later:
-
-ata0-master: type=disk, path="gnu.img", cylinders=1024, heads=16, spt=63
-
-for older versions:
-
-diskc: file="gnu.img", cyl=1024, heads=16, spt=63
-
-- My PATH and prompt are weird, and X clients fail
-
-the profile is not loaded properly, do it manualy with ". /etc/profile".
-
-- How can i change terminals?
-
-The Mach console doesn't have multi-terminal capability, and the usual solution is the "screen" program, but..
-
-..the new console server is installed and configured with 6 terminals. beware it hasn't been properly tested. You can launch it with the ncursesw driver:
-
-console -d ncursesw /dev/vcs
-
-and then switching via C-w 1 (or 2, 3, ...). you can exit it with C-w x
-
-see <http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2002/debian-hurd-200209/msg00054.html> for more details
-
-IMPORTANT: note that X doesn't work well while running the console server.
-
-- Does X work?
-
-Somewhat:
-
-- DRI and speedo modules won't load so they're deactivated. - The VESA driver also failed so VGA is being used. - more than 8 bpp won't work. - for some weird reason the mouse server in /dev/mouse doesn't respond, so the mouse is inoperative. - GNU is still an unstable OS which makes X crash often on it.
-
-To reconfigure it:
-
-dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
-
-then apply a patch to fix the mouse section:
-
-patch /etc/X11/XF86config-4 /root/XF86Config-4.diff
-
-Installed clients are blackbox window manager and rxvt terminal emulator.
-
-- Is network configured?
-
-Yes, to change parameters use:
-
-settrans -apfg /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet [options to pfinet]
-
-(see /hurd/pfinet --help for details)
-
-- How do i mount stuff?
-
-settrans -afg /hurd/
-
-Where node is your mount point and translator is the filesystem server. Add -p to settrans if you want it to stay over reboots (fstab-like)
-
-- Anything neat to try?
-
-yes! instead of "su" use "sush", a more flexible version that manages multiple UIDs.
-
-you can also play with userspace filesystems for NFS and FTP in /hurd/\{nfs,ftpfs\} that you can run as user, debug with GDB, etc.
-
-- More questions?
-
-Read the FAQ (<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/faq.en.html>) for a general overview on the GNU system.
