Great. Send in a portugese map file if you want.

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.

Well, this looks good. 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.

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).
