Any way to increase the text mode console scroll back buffer in Tiny Core?
(1/1)
Rudock1:
Hi all
I have a Tiny Core Linux console usability question. In pure text mode (not X GUI) I would like to know how to increase the default scroll back buffer.
I use the traditional shift-PgUp and shift-PgDn to access the buffer now but it's never quite enough. I understand how to capture stdout by piping to less and tee, but usually I am not prepared ahead of time to set up the command that way. Having a thousand lines, like in xterminal, would be great. Is there an easy way to accomplish this in text console, perhaps with a utility?
I have searched and tried various ideas but so far I haven't found a solution that extends the scroll back buffer beyond the boot default.
Many thanks in advance!

Here's a link to using fbcon to get a larger buffer:
