In the text of the GNU Manifesto, he -mentioned that there is a primitive kernel. In the first GNUsletter, -Feb. 1986, he says that GNU's kernel is TRIX, which was developed at -the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. - -<P> -By December of 1986, the Free Software Foundation (FSF) had "started -working on the changes needed to TRIX" [Gnusletter, Jan. 1987]. -Shortly thereafter, the FSF began "negotiating with Professor Rashid -of Carnegie-Mellon University about working with them on the -development of the Mach kernel" [Gnusletter, June, 1987]. The text -implies that the FSF wanted to use someone else's work, rather than -have to fix TRIX. - -<P> -In [Gnusletter, Feb. 1988], RMS was talking about taking Mach and -putting the Berkeley Sprite filesystem on top of it, "after the parts -of Berkeley Unix... have been replaced." - -<P> -Six months later, the FSF is saying that "if we can't get Mach, we'll -use TRIX or Berkeley's Sprite." Here, they present Sprite as a -full-kernel option, rather than just a filesystem. - -<P> -In January, 1990, they say "we aren't doing any kernel work. It does -not make sense for us to start a kernel project now, when we still -hope to use Mach" [Gnusletter, Jan. 1990]. Nothing significant occurs -until 1991, when a more detailed plan is announced: - -<BLOCKQUOTE> -We are still interested in a multi-process kernel running on top of -Mach. The CMU lawyers are currently deciding if they can release Mach -with distribution conditions that will enable us to distribute it. If -they decide to do so, then we will probably start work. CMU has -available under the same terms as Mach a single-server partial Unix -emulator named Poe; it is rather slow and provides minimal -functionality. We would probably begin by extending Poe to provide -full functionality. Later we hope to have a modular emulator divided -into multiple processes. [Gnusletter, Jan. 1991]. -</BLOCKQUOTE> - -<P> -RMS explains the relationship between the Hurd and Linux in <A -HREF="hurd-and-linux.html">The Hurd and Linux</A>, where he mentions -that the FSF started developing the Hurd in 1990. As of [Gnusletter, -Nov. 1991], the Hurd (running on Mach) is GNU's official kernel. - -<H3><A HREF="#TOCannounce" NAME="announce">Announcements</A></H3> -<DL> -<DT> -<A HREF="hurd-flash15">Release 0.2 announcement (complete GNU system)</A></DT> -<DT> -<A HREF="hurd-flash14">Release 0.2 announcement (Hurd)</A></DT> -<DT> -<A HREF="hurd-flash13">Test release announcement (Aug 96)</A></DT> -<DT> -<A HREF="hurd-flash12">Test release status (Jul 96)</A></DT> -<DT> -<A HREF="hurd-flash11">Binary image available, Apr 96</A></DT> -<DD> -This and <A HREF="http://www.netbsd.org/">NetBSD</A> boot flopies should -be enough to get a working GNU/Hurd system!</DD> -<DT> -<A HREF="hurd-flash10">New Snapshot, Apr 96</A> -- NFS and lots else -works!</DT> -<DT> -<A HREF="hurd-flash9">News Flash, Nov 95</A> -- ftp works!</DT> -<DT> -<A HREF="hurd-flash8">New Snapshot, Jul 95</A> -- ext2fs support</DT> -<DT> -<A HREF="hurd-flash7">New Snapshot, Apr 95</A></DT> -<DT> -<A HREF="hurd-flash6">News flash, Nov 94</A></DT> -<DT> -<A HREF="hurd-flash5">News flash, Sep 94</A> -- gcc runs!</DT> -<DT> -<A HREF="hurd-flash4">News flash, Aug 94</A></DT> -<DT> -<A HREF="hurd-flash3">News flash, Jul 94</A> -- emacs runs!</DT> -<DT> -<A HREF="hurd-flash2">News flash, May 94</A></DT> -<DT> -<A HREF="hurd-flash">News flash, Apr 94</A> -- it boots!</DT> -<DT> -<A HREF="hurd-announce2">GNU Hurd announcement, Nov 93</A></DT> -<DT> -<A HREF="hurd-announce">GNU Hurd announcement, May 91</A></DT> -</DL> - -</TD> -</TR> -</TABLE> - -<HR> - -[ -<!-- Please keep this list alphabetical --> -<!-- PLEASE UPDATE THE LIST AT THE BOTTOM (OR TOP) OF THE PAGE TOO! --> - <A HREF="/software/hurd/history.html">English</A> -| <A HREF="/software/hurd/history.eo.html">Esperanto</A> -| <A HREF="/software/hurd/history.html">Hebrew</A> -| <a href="/software/hurd/history.es.html">Spanish</a> <!-- Español --> -] - -<HR> - -<P> -Return to <A HREF="/home.html">GNU's home page</A>. -<P> - -Please send FSF & GNU inquiries & questions to - -<A HREF="mailto:gnu@gnu.org"><EM>gnu@gnu.org</EM></A>. -There are also <A HREF="/home.html#ContactInfo">other ways to -contact</A> the FSF. -<P> - -Please send comments on these web pages to - -<A HREF="mailto:web-hurd@gnu.org"><EM>web-hurd@gnu.org</EM></A>, -send other questions to -<A HREF="mailto:gnu@gnu.org"><EM>gnu@gnu.org</EM></A>. -<P> -Copyright (C) 2001, 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc., -59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111, USA -<P> -Verbatim copying and distribution of this entire article is -permitted in any medium, provided this notice is preserved. -<P> -Updated: -<!-- timestamp start --> -$Date$ $Author$ -<!-- timestamp end --> -<HR> -</BODY> -</HTML> diff --git a/hurd-announcements.html b/hurd-announcements.html deleted file mode 100644 index ab3fbad5..00000000 --- a/hurd-announcements.html +++ /dev/null @@ -1,114 +0,0 @@ -<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN"
