Fullscreen Terminal

Anyone know a good tweak to make terminal fullscreen?

Actually quite easy...

At the login screen, instead of typing your user name, type >console and it will boot into text mode, without any GUI. You'll be asked your login and password, and you're in.

Looks like Single-User-mode, except that you're not root.

I don't know how usuable this in practice but it's nice,GLTerminal . It's just an app that gives you a terminal but can emulate old CRT computer screens (white, green or amber text, complete with configurable flicker, brightness and CRT curvature warp) and can go fullscreen. It's not perfect though...

Thanks

I put >console as the username and didn't enter a password and it brought me back to another login window where I entered my username and password and then it brought me back to a normal session. Is there something I missed?

Figured it out. I had to logout first. heh....
