But that's another thread all by itself... : stty columns is only effective *AFTER* you have a shell and the box has : booted. Yes I know that, but you seem to be arguing that all terminals have 80 columns... This is not the case, although many of them do. I was following your line of reasoning to its logical conclusion (since all terminals have 80 columns, why do we need to tell the kernel how big our terminals are). I agree 100% that 80 shall be the default, since that's how wide these things usually have been since 1890 and this man named Hollereth(sp?)... I just want to make sure that I can change that default. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
