RE: please send structures of what you are building for hurd.gnu.org

[Jim Franklin]

Hi Phil,
 I think all we have to do is strip the body out and put the body in our
boilerplate. What I had in mind behind the minimalist floppies is that gcc
would be included so that custom systems could be created. I guess
theoretically with a rescue floppy you should be able to install from a
windows system if necessary, then you could just compile the source as you
go along building your hurd from scratch if necessary. Am I in the wrong
ballpark with this concept? It would be nice to attract developers from the
windows arena as well as from the Un*x arenas.

Jim

Jim,
        Ops, forgot the floppies.  I have a rescue, root, and 11
base14-??.bin images here.  The last make up the complete tarball.  About
18-19 MB in all.  I presume that a network connection can be made using
the tarball.  If so then the floppies could be used to boot up a bare
machine and continue the install via a network.

What changes would be needed to be made to the hurd-cd page at denian.org?
Apart from the addition of the lists of packages.

Phil.
