+Subject: Hurd 0.0 and GNU 0.0 released
+X-Name-Change: My name used to be `Michael'; now it is `Thomas'.
+X-Tom-Swiftie: "I guess I shouldn't have broken the mirror," Tom reflected.
+
+
+
+
+I am pleased to announce version 0.0 of the GNU Hurd, available via
+anonymous FTP from prep.ai.mit.edu [18.159.0.42] in the file
+/pub/gnu/hurd-0.0.tar.gz (about 1.2 MB compressed).
+
+This file contains complete source code for the following:
+
+Hurd servers: 
+ 
+ auth, crash, devio, devport, exec, ext2fs, fifo, fwd, ifsock, init,
+ magic, new-fifo, nfs, null, pfinet, pflocal, proc, symlink, term,
+ ufs.
+
+Hurd libraries: 
+ 
+ diskfs, fshelp, ihash, iohelp, netfs, pager, pipe, ports, ps,
+ shouldbeinlibc, store, threads, trivfs.
+
+Hurd utilities and other programs: 
+
+ boot, shd, ps, settrans, showtrans, sync, su, mount, fsysopts,
+ storeinfo, login, w, uptime, hurdids, loginpr, sush, vmstat,
+ portinfo, devprobe, reboot, halt, fsck, fsck.ufs, mkfs.ufs, clri.ufs,
+ stati.ufs, getty, rc.
+
+
+------
+
+
+In addition, we have prepared a binary distribution of a complete
+version 0.0 GNU system corresponding to this Hurd release.  This
+release runs only on PC-AT compatible systems with i[345]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 `UK22' version of the Mach kernel, as
+distributed by the University of Utah.  It is too difficult to prepare
+a detailed list of supported devices at this point.  Common disk
+controllers and ethernet cards are generally supported.
+
+This release does not contain the X Window System.
+
+This release may be fetched by anonymous FTP from prep.ai.mit.edu
+[18.159.42] in the directory /pub/gnu/gnu-0.0/.
+
+In that directory, you should find the following files:
+
+ README
+ SOURCES
+ INSTALL-binary
+ grub-boot.image		(about 1.4 MB, not compressed)
+ gnu-0.0.tar.gz			(about 56.9 MB compressed)
+ gnu-0.0-stripped.tar.gz	(about 26.2 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-0.0 release.)
+
+gnu-0.0.tar.gz holds the image of the complete system.  It unpacks
+into a directory that requires approximately 233 MB of disk space.
+
+gnu-0.0-stripped.tar.gz holds the same contents as gnu-0.0, except
+that executable programs have been stripped to save space, and the
+libraries have had debugging symbols stripped to save space and speed
+linking.  It unpacks into a directory that requires about 85.5 MB of
+disk space.
+
+We recommend using the unstripped image, or you will be unable to
+debug anything.  Surely there are bugs.  So fetch the unstripped
+image, at least to have around.
+
+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 found in this release:
+
+ autoconf, automake, bash, bc, binutils, bison, cpio, cvs, diffutils,
+ doschk, e2fsprogs, ed, emacs, fileutils, findutils, flex, from, gawk,
+ gcal, gcc, gdb, gdbm, gettext, glibc, gmp, gperf, grep, grub, gzip,
+ hello, hurd, indent, inetutils, less, mach, make, m4, miscfiles,
+ ncurses, nethack, nvi, patch, ptx, rcs, readline, recode, sed,
+ serverboot, sharutils, shellutils, tar, termcap, termutils, texinfo,
+ textutils, time, wdiff.
