Hello.

You can access virtual consoles by pressing CTRL+ALT+Fx...
The Mandrake 8.0 Users Guide says that you can use the "mingetty" program to 
give you more consoles.

[root@tux350 /root]# mingetty tty8
[root@tux350 /root]# tail -1 /var/log/messages
Nov 23 18:33:43 tux350 mingetty[12992]: /dev/tty8: cannot open tty: Operation 
not permitted
[root@tux350 /root]#

It doesn't seem to work...
No nice login screen at tty8 :(

If I put "mingetty" lines in /etc/inittab, it works though.

I am root.  Why can't I get another ten consoles "on demand" :) ?

Thanks,
pesarif
