I know, we can all use vim, emacs or just the “less” command. I’ve tried apps like reed and lpgr which do a good job with plain text files and provide bookmark facilities, but it would be nice having something able to read different formats like html, plucker, pdf, for example something like a FBReader for the command line or framebuffer. Any suggestions? What is your favorite console etext viewer? Thanks.

Start up your system normally, then sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst. Find the defoptions line and add vga=773 to that line. When you exit, run sudo update-grub and on your next reboot, you should get the 1024×768 terminal environment.

Of course, there will be slight variations if you’re using a different version of Linux. Have fun!

or at least point me in the right direction.
