What I meant, is this, see an extract of mine here: comment this or remove "quiet" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" -------------------- Here you might want to set the resolution of boot screen. If your resolution is lower, fonts are bigger. There is also a kernel parameter which can be set, to use bigger fonts, but at the moment, I forgot, which. Google might help. # The resolution used on graphical terminal # note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE # you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo' # GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768 GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080 -------------------- With this parameter set, you can force the resolution of the console after boot. GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep -------------------- Please excuse, if I am telling you things, you already know. For most people it is enough, just to change the resolution at boot. Have fun! Hans
