Each kind of file system is handled by a program in /hurd/.
Currently there are ext2fs, ftpfs, isofs, nfs and ufs.
There are also special-purpose file systems like firmlink and
hostmux.

MS-DOS file systems aren't supported yet.

I'm looking at gnumach/i386/i386at/kd.c and it seems Caps Lock is
actually handled as Ctrl. ;-) I can't test it right now, but if
that's the case, try adding "#define ORC" and recompiling. If it
helps, submit a bug report. (Anyone who *wants* to use Caps Lock
as Ctrl can just change the keymap at runtime.)

PPP is not supported.
