CLI font size...

[CRT_Monkey]

Hey, now that I am running CLI only, I'd like to reduce the font size cuz it's way too B I G!

Could anyone shed some light?

You can put vga=ask in your lilo.conf so it will prompt your for one of the available modes. Then you can directly specify the mode you prefer.
I run with vga=791 so I get 1024x768x24 on the console. Oddly, this mode isn't available with the ask option.
Your kernel will need framebuffer support but most stock kernel should have it.

I know how to do that in X, but in CLI I'm not sure how to edit files. That's really my question I think. How do I edit a file in command line in order to change things like font size?

Thanks for the fast reply though.
