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.
