there's also
apt-get install svgatextmode
man TextConfig
and then, of course
SVGATextMode 80x40x8
SVGATextMode 132x29x9
and so forth.
at least it works for me in potato...

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #73 from USM Bish <bish@nde.vsnl.net.in>
:
Looking for a way to CAPTURE A TRANSCRIPT OF SOME COMMANDS?
Easy! To catch anything from the screen when it scrolls by,
use "script":
script file-to-save-transcript-in.txt
<command>
<command>
exit <== don't forget this!
(It spawns another shell, and displays everything so you can
work -- but it also saves the output in the file at the same
time.) Then "pager file-*transcript*" to review it. Or email it.
Or edit it for inclusion in a manual you're writing.
