OK, but what about in the Linux console itself, meaning in the tty?  (One can
switch to a tty from X by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1.  Most Linux machines have a
default of six ttys, so ALT+F1 through ALT+F6 will toggle between the ttys;
ALT+F7 would bring one back to X.  The CTRL key is necessary to switch from, but
not to, X.)

I have seen hints for consolechars, but my "distribution", Linux From Scratch,
uses kbd-1.08, and I know that consolechars is much older than that.  I also
know that it is possible to make this work, though I don't know how to do it...

I'll try it but, as a traditionalist who often uses the tty, I'd like to get
that working, too...

Thanks,
