In my previous version of Linux (RH 7.2) I had a kernel
parameter vga=1 to set an 80x50 console screen for bootup. I have
done this with GRUB/Fedora, but this is reset to 80x25 when
the default font is set. I tried commenting out the lines
which do this in rc.sysinit but the size gets changed again
later on.

Surely there must be a way of doing this in a manner which does
not require hacking deep into the startup system?

Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

Try putting something like:

    SYSFONT="LatArCyrHeb-08"

in the file /etc/sysconfig/i18n.


The file already has:

SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"

Is that the problem? Should I be changing that to what you gave above?

I always set vga=791, why? G.d knows
