I have always wondered. I manage a fair few Debian machines, as since I
started using debian about 12months ago after coming from Slackware. I have
since given up on anything else, and only use Debian.

I think you might try looking at console-tools or kbd packages. You
probably won't be able to use TrueType fonts though, but I don't know

like that) package.

Yes, if you get the packages via http (or ftp?). If you have the .deb

I tried superformat, but it bombed out with the following messages:
sh: mformat: command not found
warning: mformat error
Am I missing a package?

I'm thinking, shouldn't this be done automatically by /bin/su ?
This would make a lot of sense and simplify life significantly.
Hiya,
Can someone give me the best route to change the PATH variable when inside an
