* SETUP: Comment out frobbing of BOOT_DEV; grub does that on it's own now. * INSTALL-GRUB-MBR: Delete file. * Makefile (dist-files): Omit INSTALL-GRUB-MBR. (install-dist): Likewise. * menu.lst (title): Replace install entries with new versions. * INSTALL-binary (STEP IV): Revised instructions to correspond to new reality, with Grub 0.4.

-Checklist for Hurd releases.
+Order for building binary distribution:
+
+1) Make tools on build machine
+* Build/install libc and header files from mach and hurd.
+* Build/install gcc (just LANGUAGES=c)
+* Build/install binutils.
+
+2) Make everything for release; install both on build machine and dist dir.
+* Build/install binutils again (now using new as and ld).
+* Build/install gcc again. (only one stage necessary).
+* Build/install libc again.
+* Build/install everything else.
+
+
+Checklist for binary image filesystems
* Symlinks in /bin; esp. sh, awk, more, cc.
+* Symlink /lib/libtermcap.a -> /lib/libncurses.a
* Check all symlinks to make sure they don't reference /gd4/hurdinst.
* Build some static fileutils: ls, ln, cp, mv, chmod.
+* Make sure /include/obstack.h is from libc and not binutils.
* Make sure there is no /include/i386.
-* Make sure /i486-gnu contains hard links, not copies.
+* Make sure there is no /i486-gnu.
* Make sure we are using Hurd versions of su and uptime, not sh-utils.
* Make sure we are using Hurd fsck, not e2fs.
* Make install-dist from release dir.
