I know I tried that once, leaving the 1-6 consoles as is, and then adding 8-12, leaving F7 for the GUI, and my system never did work right. I think you have to modify alot more than /etc/inittab to make Debian fully compliant with more than 6 virtual consoles, because lots of weird things started happening, and things from one console would bleed over to another. I haven't really looked around at all of what Debian's done, but I think they've pretty much coded things for only 6 consoles. I might be wrong and it was just a buggy upgrade at the time. I dunno. udev, of course, is skimpy on how to keep hardware named the way it's needed for CLI apps, and leaving the symlink for /dev/cdrom alone, so I'll mess with it later. Michael
