The [0\.97 version](ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-0.97-i386-pc.ext2fs) works fine. I downloaded it an renamed to `floppy.img`. Alternatively, the Debian grub-disk package (up till version 0.97-28) is fine as well. 3. You will need a [Debian/Hurd installation CD](http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-cd). K16 works fine. diff --git a/qemu.mdwn b/qemu.mdwn new file mode 100644 index 00000000..97ce5693 --- /dev/null +++ b/qemu.mdwn @@ -0,0 +1,36 @@ +[[meta copyright="Copyright © 2005, 2007, 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc."]] + +[[meta license="""[[toggle id="license" text="GFDL 1.2+"]][[toggleable +id="license" text="Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this +document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or +any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant +Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.
