[mythtv-users] OT: Increasing Console Buffer Size in Fedora

[R. G. Newbury]

The env variable HISTSIZE sets the size of the buffer which keeps your 
command history.

Does anyone know how to increase the size of the console display buffer?
Is this an env variable?

I want to increase the size of whatever it is that keeps console screen 
output so I can scroll back "further in time" in the output.

I have just been fighting with mythfilldatabase not creating temporary 
tables. Turned out to be a permissions problem, which I very luckily 
only got to see by *anticipating* when to hit Control-C, to stop output 
to the console before what I needed to see had scrolled off. I never did 
get it at the correct time in order to see output from the first line...

This is Fedora but probably the same in all Linux distros...

Anyone?
