hmmm...i tried looking for consolechars and it is not installed on my |
| 15 |
machine. from the comments in the /etc/init.d/consolefont it seems that |
| 16 |
it is begin used for setting user fonts. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
the man page for consolechars (found from google) says that it is |
| 19 |
responsible for : |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
"... loads a font into the EGA/VGA character generator, and optionally |
| 22 |
outputs the previous font. This command reads an 8x H font from the |
| 23 |
file and loads it into the character generator memory." |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
i am not sure i understand how it is related to spawning multiple |
| 26 |
consoles during system boot. |
