- when using hurd-udeb and ext2fs.static from the latest pkg-hurd,
- plus my own modification to add the /lib/ld.so symlink to it.
- Should it be done there?
- Is ldconfig supposed to create it when the d-i images are built?
- Anyway, I'll try to get debian-installer to start.

-* busybox: started porting the upstream and Debian package to Hurd and FreeBSD
-* rebuilding hurd-udeb from the pkg-hurd version

- and report it ?)

+ * use busybox from my osports-debian branch (see link above)
+ * tweak the d-i image build scripts
+ * the symlink /lib/ld.so -> ld.so.1 needs to be created somehow
+ (youpi mentionned it being the job of libc0.3-udeb I think)
+ * fix the poll() issue in libdebian-installer

+ also there is some hurd doxygen short-circuiting stuff

+ * initrd support coming soon (BTW gnumach does not like gcc-4.4),
