+I am pleased to announce version 0.2 of the complete Hurd based GNU
+system.  This release runs only on PC-AT compatible systems with
+i[3456]86 processors.
+
+The GNU Hurd, plus Mach, is a kernel, not an operating system.  The
+GNU operating system, like the Unix operating system, consists of many
+components, including kernel, libraries, compilers, assembler, shell,
+parser generators, utilities, window system, editors, text formatters,
+and so on.  The GNU project set out a decade ago to develop this
+system, and we've been writing various components of it ever since.
+
+This release uses the GNUmach distribution of the Mach kernel, version
+1.1.3.  Popular PC devices are generally supported.
+
+This release does not contain the X Window System.
+
+This release may be fetched from the directory
+ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gnu-0.2.  (prep.ai.mit.edu is 18.159.42,
+for the nameserver-impaired).
+
+In that directory, you should find the following files:
+
+README
+SOURCES
+INSTALL-binary
+grub-boot.image			(about 1.5 MB, not compressed)
+gnu-0.2.tar.gz			(about 73 MB compressed)
+
+SOURCES contains a complete list describing the sources for the
+binaries found in the image.  INSTALL-binary contains complete
+installation instructions for this release.
+
+(The files README, SOURCES, and INSTALL-binary are also found in the
+root directory of the gnu-0.2 release.)
+
+gnu-0.2.tar.gz holds the image of the complete system.  It unpacks
+into a directory that requires approximately 285 MB of disk space.
+
+grub-boot.image is an image of a 3.5" floppy disk that you will need
+in order to complete part of the installation instructions.
+
+The following free software packages are included in this release:
+
+autoconf automake bash bc binutils bison cpio cvs diffutils doschk
+e2fsprogs ed emacs emacs lisp manual fileutils findutils flex from g77
+gawk gcal gcc gdb gettext glibc gmp gnuchess gnumach gnugo grep grub
