[SLUG] Disabling console screensaver/blanking?

[Damien Gardner Jnr]

Hi All,

My router/firewall machine at home has been locking up solid every couple of days 
recently, and it's starting to get too frequent, so i'm trying to find out why.. - 
what I haven't been able to figure out though, is how to disable the 
screensaver/blanking thing on the console, so that I can see the last messages on the 
console when the machine locks up.. - Anyone happen to know how to disable the 
blanking?

Regards,

setterm -blank 0  at the console.
