Hello, I am desperately trying to find out how to increase the size of the scrollback buffer in the non-graphical mode console (no X).
I am running a stock debian etch distribution without any X manager, starting in runlevel 2. The machine boots up and I sign into the console. Then, say I do an "ls -R /". This command will produce many screens of output. Using the Shift+PgUp, I can scrollback by a few screens-worth of lines - but the number of lines I can scrollback is limited. I would like to increase this. I need this to watch the output of some long running make (and redirecting the output to a file does not work satisfactorily). I have thought about using screen, but if there is a way to do it natively, that would work the best. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
