virtual console
 
i read in unleased that you can use 63 virtual console in cli mode. i can add virtual console in /etc/inittab but there are 12 function keys how can i access more console like i access alt+f1, alt+f2.............alt+f12.

?

Code:

chvt 32
would open up vt 32 if it exists..

Im not sure if this works as a normal user, I myself get an error if trying to envoke as a normal user..

edit:
another moethod that was so simple it slipped my mind:
alt+left|right arrow cycles vt:s.. Tho this can get a tad hectic if you have over 12 of them.. d:
