Great. Send in a portugese map file if you want. > About accentuation: I don't need accentuation by this time, but does > the font understand particular characters like �?

As I said, font changing is not supported, and the mapping is not iso but ibm vga, sorry. We will tackle this later. Currently, I am preparing X packages (they are ready, just need to upload them tomorrow), and in X we have all sort of fonts, of course. > > > - The network settrans -fg ..... works ok, but doesn't stay up across > > > reboots... since it's not defined as active shouldn't he stay? > > > > Yes.

You will have to do further debugging to get more information on where and why it hangs (probably compile hurd with debugging info and run gdb on pfinet). But maybe wait for glibc 2.2, which has some relevant changes, I think. > > > - I can't mount the linux partition (settrans -fg /linux /hurd/ext2fs > > > /dev/hd0s2), it computes ok but when I try to access it it either > > > freezes or says something akeen to the >1GB error (more info on that > > > one tomorrow, I really don't recall the exact error) > > > > How big is the linux partition? > > > Around 9GB That's much too big. There is currently a limit at 1 GB or so. The Hurd can't handle such big partitions. (It will later, though). Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
