In the /etc/ttys file there are references to the new terminals created: tty1 "/libexec/getty 38400" hurd on secure trusted console tty2 "/libexec/getty 38400" hurd on secure trusted console ..... ......... ......... but I can read ["/libexec/getty 9800" mach-color ... ] as well. The Hurd I have installed comes from the K6 CD. (without complete installation by net....(the ethercard is not detected by the way)) Thanks for all. ---- End Original Message ---- Hi David. For me, the Alfred's trick works well (but only two ttys, tty1 and tty2). I think can be a "typo" but where you say: "...but /dev/csv not exists...". Not is /dev/cvs but /dev/vcs. Good luck. Regards.
