SVGATextMode - thanks for help

a short review for other beginners: SVGATextMode can resize the console screen on the fly, e.g. SVGATextMode 116x43x9_12 - use dselect to install SVGATextMode - if XF86Config exists, you should know what to do otherwise read the man pages and docs carefully - un-comment the lines in /etc/rc.bo
