where do I change the file output of the boot screen messages that

to the logon screen please? i want to make them bigger and brighter so
that they are readable, like in RHEL, Fedora or Centos. this is during
bootup and before the logon screen, and so far there is a parameter in
grub which controls this, but what is it and how do i access it
please?

Does

dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

get you what you want?


Sorry, no. I'm looking to view the messages at bootup time before you
logon, the ones that are too small to read in their text size and too
faint as well.

Thanks
Sharon.
