Re: Console 50-lines at bootup?
Dan, Erik, JJB... Thank you all, that worked. And once I saw the whole screen with green on black, (ugh!) I went back to white on black. But now at least I know how to do it! Now to find the syntax for allscreens_flags and learn about that argument. I may want to set different virtual terminals to different settings.
