Any help would be greatly appreciated. vt100 is inappropriate for the (default) syscons console driver. Use "cons25" instead. If you prefer vt100 (vt220) style, you can give the pcvt console driver a try. Look into the LINT kernel config file. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
