Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2000 14:20:49 -0400 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Today, while reading the apsfilter documentation (I'm trying to get my non-PostScript printer to work), I found out that you can have more than one console by typing ALT-F1, ALT-F2, etc. So I can read documentation in one console, and follow those directions in another console without losing my mind. Pretty cool, huh?? :) Anyway, so I'm logged on as myself in one window, and as root in the other. While I realize you being root is necessary to get many things working, it often makes me feel like I'm defusing a bomb. So, is it OK to be logged on as the same user twice, on the same system, on two different "virtual" consoles?? Also, I know I shouldn't put two questions in the same email, but it does reduce bandwidth :) How can I change my screen font so that more lines of text fit on a screen?? I don't need to be able to read it from accross the room. Also, how can I change my "scroll lock" settings so I can see more screens when I roll back?? THANX!!
