I've just apt-get corkscrew, insert ProxyCommand line just as the
manpages said "ProxyCommand corkscrew ssh proxy proxyport %h %p", and I
just get this message:

"Proxy could not open connnection to www.gnome.org:  Forbidden
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host"

I assume that's because my proxy-admin are much more evil than I'd
thought? ;-)

Yup this T30, now it splits in three partitions, one (the biggest, about
25GB) for my debian unstable, two for the swap, three (only about 2GB)
for gnu/hurd. 

Funny thing, I don't know what did I do last night, my gnu/hurd got
panic over and over again. Will try to reinstall again today.

And what are our current status with L4/Hurd? 
It seems we get it to work to boot, and then what?
