I tried to run a GUI on hurd K7.
Used the update/install.sh and install/gui.sh on the CD1.
When trying the STARTX the machine is freezing at .."cannot open keyboard...no
such file"
I am not able to create a kbd-devicefile in /dev with ./MAKEDEV kbd; it will
not accept it as device-file.
I am told by the instruction that such a device should be created during the
preparation for GUI.
I might be doing a mistake or insuffiency during this process,and wonder which.
(I also noted that this K7 will not accept a linux swap,but that is another
question and not so important,in as much this just has to be redone.)
I have tried to go through the necessary steps to achieve GUI and I feel I am
close to make it.
Has anybody any idea here as to the bespoken devicefile,or do anybody recognise
a common beginners mistake here?
