I wasn't using KDE's Konsole, but was booted into Finnix at init2, but when I 
have been using the Konsole (terminal), settings > history has given me the 
the option for unlimited, and that has worked for the current session, but 
has not been saved. Consequently, each time I open the Konsole I have to set 
the history to unlimited. At the moment KDE's Konsole is set for 1000 lines. 
How do I  change this to unlimited permanently.
