    Hello,
    I have been installing the hurd on my box. I have a 2 gb slice for the root
    and a 1 gb slice for swap. I have been installing via k5 iso. After failing
    to 'startx' I 'apt-get install lynx-cur' and begin googling for similar
    trouble. I subscribed to this list in fact. Then I tried to use 'pine' but
    no bin. So, I 'apt-get install pine,' but its not on the cd. So, I 'man
    mail' to see what mail client is good for the hurd. Then the box crashes
    giving me "panic: zalloc ipc ports exhausted." Can anybody shed some light
    on this? This is the second time a zalloc error has trampled my box under
    the hurd:-( The first time it happened I was upgrading via dselect with a
    ftp apt/sources.lst. I then increased my swap size to 1 gb per instructions
    from debian-hurd list. But I need to not bother the full time developers
    with my silly problems;-).
    If anybody has any input on this thing I would appreciate the help.
    Thanks
    Ron
