The function keys do not limit your virtual consoles: I have only 12 function keys, but a year or so ago I set my inittab to give me 24 virtual consoles. The second set of 12 are only accessible via the alt-leftarrow , alt-rightarrow sequences, from the first and twelfth virtual consoles respectively. Afaik, you can have up to 256, although how exactly one would manage all of those is beyond me. Luke
