Hello. I was spending some time preparing a new Qemu image. This time is totally based on my own "day by day" Debian GNU/Hurd system. Last dist-upgrade was sunday 10/03/2010. It have a complete working Xorg system included, as well as others programs, games,... The complete packages list is in the file Packages.txt, under the superuser 'root' directory. I deleted my "real" user account and added a "generic" user, 'smith' (yes, i like the Matrix saga).
The 'root' user password is "root" and the 'smith' user password is "smith". The window manager i like and use is FluxBox, but you can install whaterver you want. Under the superuser 'root' directory you can find a shell script with the command line i use for enter to the Console. If someone wants can improve the system making the Console starts at System boot. I tried to apply the "holes" elimination method that Samuel Thibault recommended at http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2010/04/msg00074.html but the command 'dd < /dev/zero > /mnt/mnt/foo bs=1M' fails because there is not enough free space on the "disk". My humble opinion is that is important get a bigger disk image than this with only 1,5 Gb. for a better "GNU/Hurd on Qemu" experience. But i don't know how to get it, sorry. At least, by now. Well, you can download the Qemu image here, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6417512/Hurd/debian-hurd-03102010-qemu.img.tar.gz Enjoy it!!. Regards.
