[ 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]]
If your NIC was detected by Mach:
settrans -fgap /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -i eth0 \
-a 192.168.1.3 -g 192.168.1.1 -b 255.255.255.0
### [[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

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.
