How can I change the init 3 shell default $COLUMNS ? (I am trying to wean myself from GUI)
Use framebuffer.
Alexander
alexander, Can you be more specific? I am lost, what is framebuffer?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_framebuffer
For example the RHGB boot (kernel line anaconda parameter "rhgb" in grub.conf) is a framebuffer mode.
this will allow me to change the 'default' console columns/lines setting, right?
Details on how to configure framebuffer on your system depend on the graphics card.
Alexander
I figured out that fbset could let me modify frame buffer device settings, but it gives an error if invoked in while in init 5 (console, not xterm!). It seems to work in init 3, so I have to figure out how it works properly.
Thank you Alesxander
