I just read this email thread from the debian-hurd email list. It looks like in the next few days the GNU/Hurd bootstrap story will be simplified. https://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2020/04/msg00000.html Also people not using the qwerty keyboard layout may be interested in the "--curses" command from qemu, which starts the GNU/Hurd in your keyboard layout of choice. To the best of my knowledge the GNU/Hurd supports many keyboard layouts but not keyboard variants like "dvorak". Please note that starting the Hurd this way, will not allow you to start X. However, many Hurd developers code in the Hurd without X. X is not needed to code in the kernel for example... -- Joshua Branson Sent from Emacs and Gnus P.S.
