Issue

After loading RedHat 4.2 and RedHat 5.1 Linux for Sparcs, the font size 
is too small, and I'd prefer 24 lines by 80 charactes, or at least 
something bigger than what's there. What's there is hard to read. 
'rdev -v' doesn't work for Sparc Linux, and I can't find any way to 
change the font size to something readable. Is there a way?
