Since the OLPC doesn’t have a pcmcia slot, this doesn’t help it. 

For testing it would work without it, for doing real work, I need internet, 
though (like most people today :) ). 

But the reason for my post wasn’t to show how far the Hurd is from being 
usable, but rather how little is missing to make it possible for me to do real 
work — and to gather a list of that missing basic stuff. 

Best wishes, 
Arne
