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. + +<H4><A HREF="#TOCannounce" NAME="announce">Announcements</A></H4> +<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 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> + +[ + <A HREF="/software/hurd/history.html">English</A> +] + +<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 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/install.html b/install.html new file mode 100644 index 00000000..77d283e5 --- /dev/null +++ b/install.html @@ -0,0 +1,114 @@ +<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd"> +<HTML> +<HEAD> +<TITLE>The GNU Hurd - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)</TITLE> +<LINK REV="made" HREF="mailto:web-hurd@gnu.org"> +<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="hurd"> +</HEAD> +<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000" LINK="#1F00FF" ALINK="#FF0000" VLINK="#9900DD"> +<TABLE width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="15"> +<TR> +<TD COLSPAN="2"> +<IMAGE SRC="/graphics/hurd_sm_mf.jpg" ALT=" [image of the Hurd logo] "> +[ + <A HREF="/software/hurd/install.html">English</A> +] +</TD> +</TR> +<TR> +<TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" BGCOLOR="#eeeeee"> +<A HREF="/software/hurd/hurd.html"><STRONG>The GNU Hurd</STRONG></A></BR> + <BR> +<A HREF="/software/hurd/docs.html">Documentation</A><BR> +<A HREF="/software/hurd/install.html">Installation</A><BR> +<A HREF="/software/hurd/help.html">Getting Help</A><BR> +<A HREF="/software/hurd/download.html">Download</A><BR> +<A HREF="/software/hurd/devel.html">Development</A><BR> +<A HREF="/software/hurd/history.html">History</A> +</TD> +<TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"> +<HR> +<H4><A NAME="contents">Table of Contents</A></H4> +<UL> + <LI><A HREF="#version" NAME="TOCversion">Latest Version</A> + <LI><A HREF="#install" NAME="TOCinstall">Installation Instructions</A> +</UL> +<HR> + +<H4><A HREF="#TOCversion" NAME="version">Latest Version</A></H4> +<P> +The GNU Hurd is under active development.
