no, i didn't, too hard for me to see or sit to squint at the screen to be able to read. the login prompt and screen fonts are so small that i type it all in by memory and can usually get it right. i used to have it set up where all the terminal fonts would come up with a big enough font that i'd not have that problem, but i've not been dealing much with the raw terminal screens enough to do it on this system yet. songbird
