Thanks a lot! From the user's point of view the old single console was
possible the most annoying limitation!

So when will you fix the 1 GB limit? ;-)

There is no such directory on my GNU/Hurd partition. And I understand
that in GNU/Hurd there is no support for locales yet, is there?
Indeed, the locales package is uninstallable (depends on different
