Use something gross like this in /etc/issue (but leave issue.net without the hackery): [1mThis is [35m\n[37m running [31mDebian \s[37m. Linux kernel is [33m\r[37m. It is [32m\t[37m on [32m\d[37m and you are logging in on [36m\l[37m.[0m I think "man 5 termcap" lists those funky numbers. NB: The whole prompt is in bold (aka bright colours).
