[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#386454: sysvinit: The case for 4 text consoles rather than 6

[Stefan Monnier]

Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.86.ds1-15
Severity: minor

 wish the number of text consoles (getty) started by inittab were just 4 rather than 6, so that my X sessions could use consoled 5,6,7... rather than 7,8,9,...
I mean, what's so magical about console 7?
You may say "well, what's so magical about console 5"?  MY answer is that all my keyboards group function keys in groups of 4, so 1-4 is one group and 5-8 is another.
