I don't know of one.

GNU/Hurd doesn't has virtual consoles (yet?). But, you can use the
program 'screen' to manage virtual terminals.

That's explained in several installation guides. Mach has to detect
the network card correctly, then you can easily set up the pfinet
servern.

Well, why should there be RPM in the _Debian_ GNU/Hurd distribution?
:)

Hmm. Marcus has written a program which manipulates the keyboard
layout and a script, which feeds that program with a layout map. It
can be found at
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/contrib/marcus/keymap.tar.gz.

I think it would be useful.
