Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Change default boot screen option

[Chris G. <dl...@ki...>]

It's quite easy. You just remount the boot share as Read/Write for example

"/bin/mount -no remount,rw /dev/hda1"

Then if you just use nano to edit the syslinux.cfg

"nano /shm/var/adm/boot/syslinux.cfg"

All you need to do is change "default 3" to "default 0"

Hope that helps, Chris.

Subject: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Change default boot screen option

Does anyone know a way (in a standard DL distribution) to alter the
default choice for the booting screen size from VESA 1024x768 (option 3)
to the standard 80x25 screen (option 0)? I am not always in a position
to choose the '0' option and then with my setup the screen may not be
fully readable.

(I don't have true local access to the DL machine, my local access is
through a Peppercon 'Eric Express' card which I reach through a browser.
>From Windows this is fine but from Ubuntu the boot screen gets cropped
when in 1024x768 mode.)
