[GNUz] GNOME on GNU/Hurd

[Richard Tindall]

Hey, thanks for that Tim. You've prompted me to ask something for which 
I was unsure of the welcome on a Linux list..

Debian Sarge offered me a Hurd package, then a recent update, both of 
which I installed and gave to GRUB. My first Hurd boot!!.. Whoopdy-do.. ;-)

Anyway, it starts & does some normal looking initialisation for a few 
seconds, then halts briefly on something like 'no bootstrap code to 
load', and reboots the system. So.. where is Hurd's operating system?..

Thanks for providing some clues as to where I might research this 
perplexing question, in my off-time.. ha!

I'll go and have a read now.

Cheers, Rik
