Re: Eterm --console
Thanks for your help in the matter. It turns out that the version of
eterm I was using did not have the patch in it to look at /dev/xconsole
instead of /dev/console. I contacted the maintaner and he hooked me
up.
I didn't quite get to the point of changing the structure of
syslog.conf... but I did find out that the system doesn't boot properly
if you change the symboloic link of /dev/console -> /dev/tty0 to
/dev/console -> /dev/xconsole. Not good.
