virtual terminals



hey folks.

i was just wondering about virtual terms -- is there an easy way to change
how many there are?  debian seems to default at 6 running getty, and X
opens up 7.  presumably i can use as many as 12?  how does this work?
is it as simple as running getty from init, or is there a kernel definition
somewhere that specifies how many i can have, or a little of both?

is there some documentation on the subject somewhere?
