What is it? This involves editing your kernel configuration and rebuilding your kernel. If that scares you, I suggest you read the handbook section on custom kernel builds. Put the following line in your kernel configuration: SC_HISTORY_SIZE=<N> Where <N> is the desired history size. The default is 100. The maximum is 1000 lines per virtual terminal (1000 * MAXCONS). > Thanks for your patience > -LenZ- - Ryan -- Ryan Thompson <ryan@sasknow.com> Network Administrator, Accounts SaskNow Technologies - http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E - Saskatoon, SK - S7H 0W2 Tel: 306-664-3600 Fax: 306-664-1161 Saskatoon Toll-Free: 877-727-5669 (877-SASKNOW) North America To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
