+If you have already installed Debian/Hurd and you want to compile the GNUMach kernel from source (from the Debian repository) instead of installing the binary, follow these instructions.

Building GNUmach
Change into the directory with the downloaded gnumach source, e. g.
- $cd ~/gnumach-20050801
+ $ cd gnumach-20050801
Start the build process with
- $dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b -rfakeroot
