[gentoo-user] Can the text based consoles be made scrollable?

[Andrew Lowe]

Hi all,
	I'm having a bit of trouble with KDE after a emerge world. Now when I 
log into my box at a text console, no X running at all, and attempt to 
do "stuff" to debug the problem the output scrolls off the top of the 
screen. Is there a way to make a standard bash shell/terminal/thingy 
scrollable so I can go back up though the output and review the results 
of my fiddles?

        Regards,
                Andrew
