I think that the Hurd has to boot from its own partition. You probably could share some binaries with Linux, but why? It would just complicate maintenance for both systems. -- John Hasler jhas...@newsguy.com Elmwood, WI USA

Porting is not the same as installing on the same filesystem. Each version of Debian you mentioned needs its own filesystem to work with. Again, this is NOT a simple matter of just using the same files with a different kernel! The infrastructure of each OS is fundamentally different. You NEED to us

That is probably best to do but I do not agree that difference is so big. There is Debian BSD, Debian Linux

I don't think it's just a matter of sharing libraries and system files. This is not just another kernel version, it's an entirely different kernel. A backup might not be enough, and even if it is, keep in mind that every time you decide to switch from Hurd to Linux or vice-versa you will need to re

Either create a virtual machine (VirtualBox, qemu, etc) or find some space for a new partition. GNU/Hurd is an entirely different operating system and it will ruin you Debian installation if you try to install it in the same partition. My 2¢. []'s, --Francisco On Mon, 2018-12-10 at 16:05 +0100,

HURD and Linux on same partition

2018-12-10 Thread Marek Mosiewicz
Hi, I'm curios about HURD. I understand that it is already available in sid. Is there any possibility to install it side by side with linux kernel and having both options in GRUB ?  Are all libraries separate for HURD or just gnu abstraction layer ? -- Gaining from harming others is strictly pro
