| 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. | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | If unsure, say Y, or else you won't be able to do much with your new | ||

| 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.) | ||
