Hi,

I didn't get any response to the mail below to Neal Walfield, maybe
the address is outdated.  Maybe it is possible to change the link on
www.gnu.org to avoid the broken redirect.

regards,

Subject: hurd-installation-guide Unsupported url scheme

Hi, 

I noticed that your *very* useful hurd installation guide is somewhat
inaccessible at the moment -- there is a redirect to an invalid url
(missing the hostname) when using the link to
http://web.walfield.org/papers/hurd-installation-guide/english/hurd-install-guide.html
on http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/install.html.

This problem shows up with lynx and wget as an "unsupported url
scheme" error, see below for details.  Mozilla handles the url, but I
was restricted to lynx/wget while working on my hurd console.

best regards,
