console resolutions

[mandreko]

I have a machine that i use CLI only. (my server doesn't need X) When i used to run mandrake, i had X running in another resolution, and my stuff was smaller. Is there a way i can tell this machine to run the CLI in 1024x768 or something like that? The text is just so big, it would be nice to shrink it and fit more on the screen.

Try
SVGATextMode (http://appwatch.zdnet.com/Linux/App/381/data.html)

You should add vga=791 in lilo.conf.
Or vga=ask to get a choice of various resolutions but 791 won't be available this way.
