I don't know what size of console font you use, nor what size your screen is, but perhaps enabling something in the CONFIG_FONT_SUPPORT area of the kernel (with one or more of the fonts), OR adding something like "video=1024x768" (or 800x600, or whatever) to the boot args mught help. On one of my boxes I pass that video=1024x768, between 'root=' and 'ro', so that I can read an 8x16 font on a 1600x1200 screen (the other desktops use 12x22, as does my netbook if I want to read things comfortably) For dhcpcd I have no suggestions - I use dhclient. Similarly, no suggestions if it is actually a problem in bringing up the wifi in userspace. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
