[Klug-general] TTY config

[David Halliday]

I'll have to make a note of that somewhere, I have gone back to Debian
lately with mixed results and feelings but one thing I do like is the
smaller font on the TTY bigger screens on average make the old 80x40 look a
little too big on my screen. Not to mention getting more words on
is useful when I'm trying to work out the problem with my graphics card.

In short, I like the new TTY configuration and I think that changing it in
the general distribution is good to show people that they can change it.
Perhaps the documentation to change it back could have been provided with
release/change notes.
