Hello, Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I was able to bring up a Gnome terminal window and from there, install BRLTTY. The console windows themselves are still hosed and visually unreadable, but so long as I can access them I guess I don't really care, lol. This problem apparently isn't specific to my install, but is a bug that is occuring on systems with certain video hardware. I posted a link to the bug in my other thread regarding the "Pink console" message. Hopefully, the problem will just go away in a future update. --Al
