+
+Setup is very easy (You need a GNU/Linux system to install GNU, we are developing an installer for GNU and if you want to help us join us on [[http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-system-discuss][gnu-system-discuss]]), just follow these steps ...
+
+## Step 1: Find a home for GNU 
+
+create a partition with minimum of 800 MB (if you want to install programs later you might need to allocate more space)
+
+It comes with GNU Emacs 21.4, gcc 4.0, gdb 6.3, parted, wget and many more
+
+Note: 2GB limit for partitions is no more there, it is fixed
+
+## Step 2: Create GNU Hurd filesystem on the partition
+
+    # mke2fs -o hurd /dev/hdd6
+
+## Step 3: Grab a snapshot of the GNU 
+
+from <http://www.update.uu.se/~ams/home/slask/GNU/> or Extended GNU from <http://i-hug.sarovar.org/downloads/GNU/extended/>
+
+## Step 4: Extract the snapshot to the newly created partition
+
+    # mount /dev/hdd6 /mnt
+    # cd /mnt
+    # tar -jxvf <path to downloaded location>/GNU--2006-01-08.tar.bz2 
+
+Wait for the extraction to complete, depending on the system configuration the time varies. The compressed image is 178MB and it uncompresses to about 750MB
+
+## Step 5: Configure grub to boot GNU
+
+This can be tricky since the partition naming is different for linux, grub and hurd
+
+My configuration look like this ...
+
+    title  GNU (also known as GNU/Hurd)(Single user)
+    root   (hd0,5)
+    kernel /boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd3s6 -s
+    module /hurd/ext2fs.static --multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line} --host-priv-port=${host-port} --device-master-port=${device-port} --exec-server-task=${exec-task} -T typed ${root} $(task-create) $(task-resume)
+    module /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec $(exec-task=task-create) 
+
+    title  GNU (also known as GNU/Hurd)(Multi-user)
+    root   (hd0,5)
+    kernel /boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd3s6 
+    module /hurd/ext2fs.static --multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line} --host-priv-port=${host-port} --device-master-port=${device-port} --exec-server-task=${exec-task} -T typed ${root} $(task-create) $(task-resume)
+    module /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec $(exec-task=task-create) 
+
+    grub		 linux		hurd
+    hd0,5		hdd6		hd3s6
+
+If you have only one harddisk it will be hd0 for grub wherever you connect it.
+But linux and hurd names depend on whether you connect it as primary master 
+(hda or hd0), primary slave (hdb or hd1) [this is my cdrom drive], secondary
+ master (hdc or hd2) or secondary slave (hdd or hd3) [this is my precious 
+Maxtor 2GB hard disk].
+
+The partition naming of hurd is similar to BSD slices. hda1 is hd0s1, hda2 is
+ hd0s2 ...
+
+In my case the root device is hd0s6 (hdd6)
+
+## Step 6: Now boot into your brand new GNU System.
+
+It will do some initial setup and you will get a prompt. 
+Now reboot into your configured GNU System.
+
+    # reboot 
+
+## Step 7: Start using your GNU system
+
+Here is the GNU/Hurd users guide. It starts from the basics. <http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/users-guide/using_gnuhurd.html>
+
+*Warning! : It is not yet ready for normal use, it is a developer's release.*
+
+So when you encounter bugs report it to bug-hurd@gnu.org
+
+Join us on gnu-system-discuss <http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-system-discuss>  to help finish the GNU System.
