I have a dos text mode program I'd like to port to Linux.but- it routinely changes the dos font and number of screen lines besides the default terminal 25 line screen.
I understand that to change to 50 lines or whatever, that one need be root.is there a way to empower the app with that permission, that does not also empower any other root priveledges?
Would one havta be su or root to install it? There are lotsa dos text mode games that change the text mode font.
