You can try increasing the resolution used by the console framebuffer, and that might help. I added "vga=791" to the "kernel" line of my GRUB menu.lst; this forces the framebuffer to 1024x768 at 16bpp, which makes the text in console mode quite a bit smaller. I think the equivalent in LILO is to add "vga=791" to the "append" section of your lilo.conf. Anyone who knows better WRT to any of the above, feel free to trout-slap. -sten
