Actually I don’t think I need anything this sophisticated for now.  ;-)

Furthermore, regarding ttys, the Hurd has a fancy console, which isn’t
enabled yet in the image, but that would be the way to go.

It turns out that the Hurd itself is still GPLv2+.  :-)

But anyway, that wasn’t the goal of this image; the goal is to test the
OS and applications (cross-)built for it.

Thanks,
