That would indeed be an interesting discussion, but I can entirely understand not having time for it. I'd be very interested in learning more about more designed (as opposed to ad-hoc and probably kludgy) system-administration processes in any case, including mass-administration tools such as cfengine and puppet, but that would at the very least be well offtopic for this thread. >> Before reaching the login prompt, yes, you can scroll back (if no >> new messages are being printed to yank you back down to the bottom, >> anyway).

Yes, I was referring to the case with clearing still in effect. >> (Also, how do you have less than a screen of boot messages? > > I must have a higher resolution monitor than you.

I have a 2560x1600 monitor, and the console is full-screen, but still only 25 lines; the text is just displayed at a larger scale, that's all. I thought that sort of scaling was fairly standard, actually. That explains the difference; your 44 lines would be nearly 2 full screens of messages, for me, and your 84 lines would be over 3. - -- The Wanderer Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny.
