Found that out too today, in Section 8.4 of the Hurd installation quide: http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install 8.4 The Hurd console Besides the Mach console you encountered during installation, the GNU/Hurd features a powerful user-space console providing virtual terminals. Currently, you have to start the Hurd console manually with the following command: # console -d vga -d pc_mouse --repeat=mouse -d pc_kbd --repeat=kbd -d generic_speaker -c /dev/vcs Inside the Hurd console, you can switch between virtual terminals via ALT+F1, ALT+F2 and so on. ALT+CTRL+BACKSPACE detachs the Hurd console and brings you back to the Mach console, from where you can reattach again with the above command. Does only give garbage using -curses though! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
