I wasn't using KDE's Konsole, but was booted into Finnix at init2, but when I have been using the Konsole (terminal), settings > history has given me the the option for unlimited, and that has worked for the current session, but has not been saved. Consequently, each time I open the Konsole I have to set the history to unlimited. At the moment KDE's Konsole is set for 1000 lines. How do I change this to unlimited permanently.
