**For pure 64bit support, we need to**
- * bootstrap a distrib
+ * bootstrap a distribution. Debian is done. Alpine-Hurd is mostly
+ bootstrapped. Reach out to Sergey if you are interested in an
+ Alpine-Hurd distribution with bleeding-edge software. Reach out
+ to Guix, if you want to help them bootstrap a 64bit Hurd.
* port gdb
* Fix bugs :)
* Notably it seems to be requiring at least 2G memory to boot.
+**Installing via the installer image**
+
+The installer appears to work in qemu. Give it a shot! Let us know
+how it works in real hardware!

**Installing a 64bit chroot**
You can use the pre-built image from https://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-i386/initrd-amd64.img.gz and boot that.
