33 If you say Y here, you will get support for terminal devices with
34 display and keyboard devices. These are called "virtual" because you
35 can run several virtual terminals (also called virtual consoles) on
36 one physical terminal. This is rather useful, for example one
37 virtual terminal can collect system messages and warnings, another
38 one can be used for a text-mode user session, and a third could run
39 an X session, all in parallel. Switching between virtual terminals
40 is done with certain key combinations, usually Alt-<function key>.
41
42 The setterm command ("man setterm") can be used to change the
43 properties (such as colors or beeping) of a virtual terminal. The
44 man page console_codes(4) ("man console_codes") contains the special
45 character sequences that can be used to change those properties
46 directly. The fonts used on virtual terminals can be changed with
47 the setfont ("man setfont") command and the key bindings are defined
48 with the loadkeys ("man loadkeys") command.
49
50 You need at least one virtual terminal device in order to make use
51 of your keyboard and monitor. Therefore, only people configuring an
52 embedded system would want to say N here in order to save some
53 memory; the only way to log into such a system is then via a serial
54 or network connection.

56 If unsure, say Y, or else you won't be able to do much with your new
57 shiny Linux system :-)

63 The system console is the device which receives all kernel messages
64 and warnings and which allows logins in single user mode. If you
65 answer Y here, a virtual terminal (the device used to interact with
66 a physical terminal) can be used as system console. This is the most
67 common mode of operations, so you should say Y here unless you want
68 the kernel messages be output only to a serial port (in which case
69 you should say Y to "Console on serial port", below).
70
71 If you do say Y here, by default the currently visible virtual
72 terminal (/dev/tty0) will be used as system console. You can change
73 that with a kernel command line option such as "console=tty3" which
74 would use the third virtual terminal as system console. (Try "man
75 bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or
76 loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.)
77
78 If unsure, say Y.
