Re: Installation of contrib/Marcus/gnu.tar last year and this year

[Robert Millan]

Hi!

You hit the --readonly bug again, which is already fixed. You're using an
obsolete tarball that Marcus deprecated and moved to Attic dir time ago.

If you want to install Debian GNU/Hurd, refer to the Debian GNU/Hurd install
guide for latest instructions and references:

Please don't do things like that, you waste your time and ours. If you had
checked you'd found that the tarball isn't in contrib/marcus anymore.
