Mark wrote a tool to change the keymap, and I extended it. Find it at: You need to write a coorect map file. Get a ASCII table and have fun. Commit the table for spanish key map back to me, please. If you have questions about the program, the table format or the symbol names, ask me. > - I can't see latin1 characters.

No support for color on the mach console (use telnet form linux or so). > - When will be ready boot disks for installation? When I have them finished. I am working on it, but not full time.

Where is a description > about it ? The filesystem is the same. Probably you mean the filesystem layout. But even that's not true. We have bin, lib, share, etc, var, home just the same. We don't have (or use) proc. We have hurd/ for the Hurd servers and /libexec for some executables that are not to be used interactively. We don't seperate /usr and /, though. There's still the /usr symlink for convenience. > - df doesn't works. (I think it says that it can't read filesystems > information). This is fixed in an alpha version of fileutils. Later it will become stable and we will all use it. I may backport the fix for this, but it is not of high priority. (Find alpha version alpha.gnu.org/gnu somewhere, if you want to try it before iut hits the archive). > - If I want to compile my own kernel, can I do it under linux? Yes, but you can do it under Hurd just as easily (or even easier). > There are a lot of questions... but... Go on ;) Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
