To take screen shots in a virtual console, use cat to save the contents of the device file corresponding to that virtual console, these files are in the `/dev' directory, and are in the format `vcsi<number>', where "number is the number of the virtual console". For ex., if the target console is the first virtual console (which you would see by typing [ALT]-[F1]), the device to cat is `/dev/vcs1'. To take a screen shot of the first virtual console, and save it to a file called `virtual1', type: $ cat /dev/vcs1 > virtual1 [RET] NOTE: You have to be Superuser to access these files. -Rupesh _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
