So, would the firmware update change the display/console/terminal size? As I had mentioned I tried config.txt which I think is the standard on the Raspberry Pi as far as display configuration. It appears to me that maybe I have to configure the syscons, vt or other driver or facility. This I have investigated although come up empty. vidcontrol -i mode yields one entry repeated multiple times, which is not listed in the man page for vidcontrol, as far as I can tell. > I have enabled sshd, and set the hostname although I cannot seem to > find the RPi on the network while using Ethernet cable (Cat 5e)... Use telnet for the start to make sure that you avoided the simplest problems. You need inetd and /etc/inetd.conf with telnet enabled in there. I have enabled telnet in /etc/inetd.conf and enabled inetd in /etc/rc.conf by adding the entry, ' inetd_enable="YES" ' to the file at the bottom. > This is not surprising because I am novice with networking.

I have also used bsdconfig to check the services, looks fine. service -e, returns inetd enabled but no telnetd... also sshd which I enabled previously. when I try to run telnetd (service telnetd start) I get that it is not in /etc/rc.d/(telnetd) or that it is not in /usr/local/libexec/ (telnetd). telnetd is in /usr/libexec/,but it appears that something is not looking there for it. Same thing when I try telnetd -debug. Thanks, ---e Erich
