This +release runs only on PC-AT compatible systems with i[345]86 +processors. + +The GNU Hurd, plus Mach, is a kernel, not an operating system. The +GNU operating system, like the Unix operating system, consists of many +components, including kernel, libraries, compilers, assembler, shell, +parser generators, utilities, window system, editors, text formatters, +and so on. The GNU project set out a decade ago to develop this +system, and we've been writing various components of it ever since. + +This release uses the `UK22' version of the Mach kernel, as +distributed by the University of Utah. It is too difficult to prepare +a detailed list of supported devices at this point. Common disk +controllers and ethernet cards are generally supported. + +This release does not contain the X Window System. + +This release may be fetched by anonymous FTP from prep.ai.mit.edu +[18.159.42] in the directory /pub/gnu/gnu-0.0/. + +In that directory, you should find the following files: + + README + SOURCES + INSTALL-binary + grub-boot.image (about 1.4 MB, not compressed) + gnu-0.0.tar.gz (about 56.9 MB compressed) + gnu-0.0-stripped.tar.gz (about 26.2 MB compressed) + +SOURCES contains a complete list describing the sources for the +binaries found in the image. INSTALL-binary contains complete +installation instructions for this release. + +(The files README, SOURCES, and INSTALL-binary are also found in the +root directory of the gnu-0.0 release.) + +gnu-0.0.tar.gz holds the image of the complete system. It unpacks +into a directory that requires approximately 233 MB of disk space. + +gnu-0.0-stripped.tar.gz holds the same contents as gnu-0.0, except +that executable programs have been stripped to save space, and the +libraries have had debugging symbols stripped to save space and speed +linking. It unpacks into a directory that requires about 85.5 MB of +disk space. + +We recommend using the unstripped image, or you will be unable to +debug anything. Surely there are bugs. So fetch the unstripped +image, at least to have around. + +grub-boot.image is an image of a 3.5" floppy disk that you will need +in order to complete part of the installation instructions. + +The following free software packages are found in this release: + + autoconf, automake, bash, bc, binutils, bison, cpio, cvs, diffutils, + doschk, e2fsprogs, ed, emacs, fileutils, findutils, flex, from, gawk, + gcal, gcc, gdb, gdbm, gettext, glibc, gmp, gperf, grep, grub, gzip, + hello, hurd, indent, inetutils, less, mach, make, m4, miscfiles, + ncurses, nethack, nvi, patch, ptx, rcs, readline, recode, sed, + serverboot, sharutils, shellutils, tar, termcap, termutils, texinfo, + textutils, time, wdiff. + + +------ + + +Here are md5sum checksums for the files mentioned in this message: + +b5f888bab3eb193fe97a00a141324c9d INSTALL-binary +345dcd826747d7b11fc78f4db162d75b README +1a5744bb4ed3448045fa6d24153d65fe SOURCES +f7b1bc428bc4ee29977a5b28f5762092 gnu-0.0-stripped.tar.gz +24554c58e5c89f295176e17d21dbae8e gnu-0.0.tar.gz +8338c619d860b71bc4128c9c0fd39d63 grub-boot.image +1fd18ccc4c81d051b83d28b13dc07ee2 hurd-0.0.tar.gz + +----- + +Br.
