terminal dimensions and lilo


Hello!
I hope everybody knows that, enhanced modes of not FRAMEBUFFER console can be selected with vga=ask flag in LILO. So let's imagine I have selected 80x60 mode. Everything is fine. But how can make this thing be permanent so I don't do that at every startup ?

Code:
 from the lilo-README
  VGA=<mode>   Specifies the VGA text mode that should be selected when
    booting. The following values are recognized (case is ignored):
      
      NORMAL  select normal 80x25 text mode.
      EXTENDED  select 80x50 text mode. The word EXTENDED can be
        abbreviated to EXT.
      ASK  stop and ask for user input (at boot time).
      <number>  use the corresponding text mode. A list of available modes
        can be obtained by booting with  vga=ask  and pressing [Enter].
Cheers,
Tink

P.S.: Blessed is the man who can read, for he shall
solve his problems faster ;)
