Perhaps this functionality could be "backported" from deb-derivate ubuntu e.g. > Debian aims to support a wide range of hardware by default.

The best I could get was a smaller font during some parts of the boot-up process. At a certain point I was thrown back to 80x25. I found some hints about recompiling the kernel & turning on frame-buffer support or something.. As this is not quite easy & time consuming on my old machines: What about offering an option in the installer: enable frame-buffer support& grafic consoles. Just proposing :-) In my eyes most of us silly users "want" to put a cd in the slot, answer a few questions and be there. While "want" is to be replaced with "are able to" ;-) I've seen *great* improvement as far as x is converned, so im hopeful for the rest. I'm sad to be unable to help, because I don't have the knowledge.. Have a nice day :m) ------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
