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.
