Re: Running the Hurd in qemu possibilities

[m7173588]

Using the the BASH commands in the README found here: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/latest/hurd-i386/README

It is a QEMU image with a working Ethernet/Internet connection. (Debian 10 with virt-manager and qemu-kvm installed)

$ wget http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/latest/hurd-i386/debian-hurd.img.tar.xz

$ tar xJf debian-hurd.img.tar.xz 

$ kvm -m 1G -drive file=debian-hurd-20200731.img,cache=writeback -net user,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:2222-:22 -net nic

As a side, Debian doesn't have /sbin/ in the $PATH so one would need to enter something like "$ sudo /sbin/ifup -a" to execute ifup

$ echo $PATH

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games

After setting the demo password with "$ passwd", one may then SSH into the virtual machine with "$ ssh demo@localhost -p 2222"
