I've got a Red Hat 7.1 installation.  How do I change the resolution of the
console to 43 or 50 lines?  The 80x25 mode sucks.  Also, is there any way to
implement a scroll-back buffer on a console?  I'm so used to working through a
terminal emulator window that when I have to use the console it's really
difficult...
