*CAUTION* This are alpha installation disc of a developing operating system. Use at your own risk and take the proper precautions. The mini.iso only is supplied which consists of a boot-floppy and baseGNU. About this image. This disc has not included packages other than the official Debian archive and ftp.gnuab.org. Supported Hardware. In theory these CDs should install GNU/Hurd on any i386 machine on which Debian 3.0 can be installed using the CD-ROM or the alternative boot-disks. However, unpacking baseGNU onto the drive is no guarantee that GNU/Hurd will run as there may be other hardware issues. Nomenclature. There are no GNU releases as such and so these discs are a snap-shot of the Debian GNU/Hurd archive with the addition of packages from other sources. The letter "K" refers to the version of the GNU/Linux installer on the discs. The number "9" refers to the debian GNU/Hurd packages found on the CDs, DVD and in baseGNU.tgz. In the case of K8 the packages are as at Tue Dec 28 20:00:02 UTC 2004 at ftp-master.debian.org. As GNU is in a continuous state of flux this can be expected to change frequently. Updates. It is my intention to hand over the production of these discs. It is hoped to produce the K16 series before the end of the year. With luck this will be a full disc set. As usual comments are welcome.
