KVM console virt-install - screen size?


Hi

I am installing CentOS minimal in virt-install with serial ttyS0 console. I get the text-based install screen which is very small like 24x80 at the top-left corner. Is there any way I can increase the size of the screen (rows and columns)?

Thanks

Run the following command:

Code:
eval '/usr/bin/resize'
Or, add the following line to your .bash_profile (or .profile) file:

Code:
PROMPT_COMMAND="eval '/usr/bin/resize'"
