OK,

That was a LONG time ago and to be honest I didn't
take the time to configure it properly. I got too
scared when nothing seemed to work and I went back to
the syscons kernel.

I didn't mean to touch sensitive fibers, in fact I'd
like it if it were not a matter of choosing between
pcvt and syscons, but rather sharing them.

What I do think is that changing the default type to
any other would cause pain for many users.

cheers,

    Pedro.
