Hurd CDs, anyone?
by Sajith T S 22 Jan '05

22 Jan '05

Hi, Anyone with Debian GNU/Hurd K5/K6 (or even K7, maybe - or even older ones) CDs? Anil C John, CS student from Kerala, mailed me today (apparently he is under the impression that yours truly is a Hurd hacker - let it remain that way ;) ) He needs to install Hurd to kick off his project, but does not have the bandwith to download the ISOs. If anyone is blessed with possession of the said Hurd ISOs or CDs, please let me know, or mail da dude (Anil C John <anilcjohn(a)sify.com>) directly. Thanks! Sajith. -- http://www.livejournal.com/users/sajith/
