The answer to this is probably in front of me, but it's been a long day...
I have a SuSE 9.3 system, no x-windows, just a bash console. I want to be able to hit the printscreen key and get a hardcopy of the screen contents - no graphics, just text (there is some color, which I don't need).
P.S. It doesn't HAVE to be the printscreen key - I don't care if it's the fred key - just let me get a hardcopy.
I don't think you really have any options for an actual screen capture. You can try using the "script" program to maintain a transcript (as a text file) of the interactions in a shell session, but there's no software I'm aware of that can grab images from the text console's frame buffer. Perhaps someone is aware of something I'm not, however.
Thanks.
