Yeah I gave it a shot in the dark and gave up pretty quickly when it didn't boot mach, I don't even know if I should change the default domain builder to something else, let alone how to get Hurd started after that.

Well of course, I wasn't expecting any guarantees of my proposal getting picked. On the contrary, I was hoping I didn't get a guarantees that I wouldn't be picked. ;-) But since that doesn't seem to be the case, I'll guess I give it my best shot at writing a proper proposal. Now I can concentrate on actually writing the proposal and not look around for alternatives, at least not until I get this proposal done. >> PS.
