last year co-ordinating with Philip Charles of New Zealand. Our work

http://sourceforge.net/projects/hurdlx

This time around, our plan is to extend these features further :
       (a) incorporate latest stable surrogate installer
       (b) get a gui installer part working
       (c) work with the latest release of Hurd – equivalent to K16 or later

Since the guides of this project is here (C K Raju, Raghesh A and
Badharudeen P), it would be possible to carry the work forward.

The proposed team members (all classmates) are

You posted your application on a list dedicated to a very specific
sub-project of the Hurd (the attempt to port on L4 and the HurdNG). You
should instead post to the folloiwng list:

	bug-hurd <at> gnu.org
