[[!meta title="Port the Debian Installer to the Hurd"]]
The primary means of distributing the Hurd is through Debian GNU/Hurd.
However, the installation CDs presently use an ancient, non-native installer.
The situation could be much improved by making sure that the newer *Debian
Installer* works on the Hurd.
Some preliminary work has been done, see
<http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Hurd>.
The goal is to have the Debian Installer fully working on the Hurd. It
requires relatively little Hurd-specific knowledge.
Possible mentors: Samuel Thibault (youpi)
Exercise: Try to get one piece of the installer running on Hurd.
