[ Install Notes? | Get Network Running? | Random Device? | Debian X? ]
## First steps after Install. So you have managed to get past the first ./native-install runs in single-user mode? Time to get to work. ### [[Hurd/GetNetworkRunning]] Check if your NIC was detected by GNU Mach: devprobe eth0 _devprobe_ will print _eth0_ on successful detection. If it was detected: settrans -fgap /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -i eth0 \ -a 192.168.1.3 -g 192.168.1.1 -m 255.255.255.0 ### [[Distrib/DebianAptOffline]] Installing packages without having a network connection. ### [[Hurd/RandomDevice]] You often need scp and ssh. Sadly the Debian GNU/Hurd does not come with any default random package installed. See [[Hurd/RandomDevice]] for details, the following is just a quick recap. cd && mkdir tmp && cd tmp wget http://kilobug.free.fr/hurd/random-64.tar.gz tar xvfz random-64.tar.gz cp random /hurd/ settrans -c /dev/random /hurd/random \ --seed-file /var/run/random-seed --secure settrans -c /dev/urandom /hurd/random \ --seed-file /var/run/urandom-seed --fast chmod 0644 /dev/random /dev/urandom apt-get install ssh ### [[Hurd/HurdConsole]] The latest Hurd package in Debian, plus the /native-install script, creates all necessary device nodes and other magic. You just need to call console with the proper arguments: console -d vga -d pc_kbd --repeat=kbd -d pc_mouse --repeat=mouse \ -d generic_speaker -c /dev/vcs cd /dev ln -s cons/kbd . ln -s cons/mouse . ### [[Hurd/Xfree86]] Assuming you've installed WindowMaker and have tried running startx already: [/etc/X11/XF86Config-4] Section "Module" # Load "dri" # Load "speedo" . . . EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "Protocol" "osmouse" EndSection [/etc/profile] LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/X11R6/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH -- [[Main/JoachimNilsson]] - 17 Apr 2005 How about making an afterinstall man page � la !OpenBSD afterboot man page? Anyone could easily convert the current text into an afterinstall.8 page. If nobody else feels up to it I could do it. -- [[Main/JoachimNilsson]] - 22 Jul 2005
