-I have been able to install Debian/Hurd K2 on [[VmWare]] ... I remember just some steps (I did too many retries):
+I have been able to install Debian/Hurd K2 on [[VmWare]] ...
-* I had to create the devices by hand because the native-install scripts fails (a lot of commands gets Killed)
-* I copied passwd and group to /etc
-* then I have deleted /dev/console and run native-install
+* [[VmWare]] 3.02 complains a lot about a missing **console** and shows a lot of errors
+ * They can be solved by manually creating the devices
+* I have tried **Bochs 2.0**, Debian/Hurd K2 installs with no problems at all.
+* [[VmWare]] 4.0.0 works fine ... just follow the Hurd install instructions.
-It's really painful and error-prone ... some help comes from:
-
-* adding <code>**--readonly**</code> at boot and then doing <code>**setsysops / --writable**</code>
-* doing <code>**exit**</code> if the commands are killed (you get a new term but you must type tthhiiss wwaayy)
-* doing <code>**export TERM=mach**</code>
-
-I really don't know why it happens ... (I'm a Hurd newbie :-) )
-
-I will post the exact procedure once I can reproduce it.
