Changing the font: 'man setfont'; 'setfont' from 'kbd' pkg. 'More text on screen': that's usually more re what framebuffer you're using; and you can usually also specify it to load automatically via bootloader. Here we base much on slackware (as well as b/lfs): you might want to checkout: ---- * setfont: See the ncurses-based interactive 'try out the fonts' shell script 'setup.consolefont' and the 'sbin/setconsolefont' script that it calls, via: http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-14.1/source/a/kbd/ -- * framebuffer: (You don't need to run or install lilo for this - it's just a ref to shell-script code). Similar to above re setfont, look at the ncurses-based shell script 'setup.liloconfig', that calls the shell script 'liloconfig', both avail via e.g.: http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-14.1/source/a/lilo/ ---- The scripts are all pretty simple at-core; there's just a lot of 'scaffolding' in them (they're used for the slackware installer). hth, akh > I'm not asking about X fonts, since I haven't gotten to the point of > installing X yet. > -- -- -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
