Hi James,
I run RH6.0 with Jnos and was wondering myself how
to get rid of the screen blanking and found the string on
the Red Hat site to disable it.
setterm -powersave off -blank 0
It worked on this end. By the way my Jnos has been up now
for 83 days without a reboot and that reboot was due to
a power failure. I run a 486dx2 with 32 megs with RH6.
Hope this helps. 73 Steve....
