Re: [Astlinux-devel] Console in a VM

[David K. <da...@ke...>]

Thanks Lonnie,
Looks like I was wrong on the color, I do get that.  But I would like to
have a higher resolution.  So, if I use UEFI bios then I should get that?
I've always installed Astlinux with the default SeaBIOS (on Proxmox).  Is
it safe to switch an existing installed VM to UEFI and just reboot?
