[Panayot Daskalov]

Hi Roel,

thanks for the reply. Do you know if the same thing can be done for 
sysvinit instead of miniinit? I will try and see for myself, but I was 
wondering if you have any experience. One more thing - does this mean 
that using USE_VT etc. does not work anymore, anybody got a clue?


Thanks and best regards to all,
Panayot Daskalov.
