The only problem's I have really been having are what I see are bugs in the console driver somewhere. By default the screen size gets set to 24 lines. Using TERM=pc3, means when I vi a file I can't scroll correctly, because the bottom line just overwrites instead of scrolling. If I reset to 25 lines, it all works fine however. Also, bold doesn't show up as bold, it shows up as a flasing blue...YUCK... Thats very hard on my eyes with a black background, and doesn't look good anyways, since it is flashing. Other than this and the 2 IDE drive bugs, it seems to work rather well. Anyone have any suggestions on how to at least fix the bold problem? James
