After booting, is there a way to adjust the console font size?
What console? Does the desktop make a difference? I am still struggling to learn the unix way of doing things, so I don't know if it matters whether you're using KDE or Gnome.
Ted, at a high level there are 2 user interfaces with linux: console X-Windows (That includes KDE / Gnome / XFCE / etc.) The console is a pure text only display such as was common on computers in the early 70's. If your openSUSE box is booting straight to X (like most do), you have enter control-alt-F2 to get to VT2. (VT == virtual terminal) VT2 is the second virtual terminal on the PC. I use it a lot. control-alt-F1 will get you to VT1. VT1 is where boot messages and other things go. I tend to not use it much once booting finishes. VT7 is by default where X runs, but you can have it on VT8, etc. If you are already on a text console, a simple alt-F1, etc. will take you to VT1. If you are on a X based VT, you have to use control-alt-F# to move to a new VT. You should take a quick run through all 12 VTs, just so you know they exist. On my PC VT1-VT6 are text consoles. VT7 is X. VT8 and VT9 are blank. VT10 is a running tail -f /var/log/messages I think (not sure about that). VT11 and VT12 are blank.
