|
|
I installed 1.4rc1 finally with vanilla source...
I remember I did choose something about console stuff in the kernel
selection...
then I have the question... at least...
How do I change the default look of the command prompt
from 80x24 to something like 80x50?

Look in /etc/rc.conf
Change CONSOLEFONT to something like:
CONSOLEFONT="default8x9" |

There's the VGA Text Mode selection option in the kernel - that might be what you're thinking of. it needs to be compiled in when you compile your kernel. It lets you specify the text mode resolution to use on boot from the grub command line (for example, I add vga=0x0F03 to select 28-line mode for the text console, you can use vga=ask to get a list of available modes on boot). _________________ "An empty head is not really empty; it is stuffed with rubbish.
