Alfred,
Thank you for explaning that. I did neglect to mention that some keys 
(other than the control which does not work anyway) did not work correctly.
I may have brought other maladays upon my self using it as well.
I fully reccomend not to try this if you are serious to installing and 
running the GNU/Hurd OS in any serious form.
cheers
