[Gllug] /dev/console

Kind offer but I think that we will buy a cheap 15" LCD.

We are going to build the system into a trolly so we can wheel it around the
warehouse.

No doubt there are tonnes of reasons why we shouldn't do this but we will
give it a go!

I have an old 15" CRT you can have.  I haven't dared push it past 640x480,
but it should be fine for the above.  Interested?
