Please excuse if this is a trivial non-issue (but let me know so I learn something :). My impression was that the translators depended upon some bits in the filesystem that the Hurd sets differently (and which no other OS really understands yet). Would this not cause problems porting sub-hurds in other operating systems? I suppose it could be done under a loopback filesystem. I haven't played with those enough to know how sturdy they are when it comes to compiling or other intense use. But the Hurd would have to be tucked away somewhere out of reach otherwise everytime they fsck things break. I seem to remember hearing that tar did not keep track of translators yet, so archiving them wouldn't solve this. Erik
