The difference on the CD is the kernel. You can change the default font by
passing the correct things to silo. If you already have Debian installed,
you can add this to /etc/silo.conf:
video=font:sun8x16
Note, the font you are getting is the sun12x22, and even though it may be
large, you can always adjust the framebuffer to get more resolution. Check
the fbset(8) command and /etc/fb.modes file.
