12 ---help---
13 If you say Y here, you will get support for terminal devices with
14 display and keyboard devices. These are called "virtual" because you
15 can run several virtual terminals (also called virtual consoles) on
16 one physical terminal. This is rather useful, for example one
17 virtual terminal can collect system messages and warnings, another
18 one can be used for a text-mode user session, and a third could run
19 an X session, all in parallel. Switching between virtual terminals
20 is done with certain key combinations, usually Alt-<function key>.
21
22 The setterm command ("man setterm") can be used to change the
23 properties (such as colors or beeping) of a virtual terminal. The
24 man page console_codes(4) ("man console_codes") contains the special
25 character sequences that can be used to change those properties
26 directly. The fonts used on virtual terminals can be changed with
27 the setfont ("man setfont") command and the key bindings are defined
28 with the loadkeys ("man loadkeys") command.
29
30 You need at least one virtual terminal device in order to make use
31 of your keyboard and monitor. Therefore, only people configuring an
32 embedded system would want to say N here in order to save some
33 memory; the only way to log into such a system is then via a serial
34 or network connection.

42 default y
43 ---help---
44 The system console is the device which receives all kernel messages
45 and warnings and which allows logins in single user mode. If you
46 answer Y here, a virtual terminal (the device used to interact with
47 a physical terminal) can be used as system console. This is the most
48 common mode of operations, so you should say Y here unless you want
49 the kernel messages be output only to a serial port (in which case
50 you should say Y to "Console on serial port", below).
51
52 If you do say Y here, by default the currently visible virtual
53 terminal (/dev/tty0) will be used as system console. You can change
54 that with a kernel command line option such as "console=tty3" which
55 would use the third virtual terminal as system console. (Try "man
56 bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or
57 loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.)

71 The virtual terminal is the device that interacts with the physical
72 terminal through console drivers. On these systems, at least one
73 console driver is loaded. In other configurations, additional console
74 drivers may be enabled, such as the framebuffer console. If more than
75 1 console driver is enabled, setting this to 'y' will allow you to
76 select the console driver that will serve as the backend for the
77 virtual terminals.

417 default y
418 ---help---
419 A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two
420 halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to
421 a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to
422 read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a
423 terminal. Typical programs for the master side are telnet servers
424 and xterms.
425
426 Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx for
427 masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo terminals. This scheme
428 has a number of problems. The GNU C library glibc 2.1 and later,
429 however, supports the Unix98 naming standard: in order to acquire a
430 pseudo terminal, a process opens /dev/ptmx; the number of the pseudo
431 terminal is then made available to the process and the pseudo
432 terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/<number>. What was
433 traditionally /dev/ttyp2 will then be /dev/pts/2, for example.

531 or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about
532 how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.) The syntax of the
533 "lp" command line option can be found in <file:drivers/char/lp.c>.

547 If the printer is out of paper (or off, or unplugged, or too
