Debian Well Underway

Well, I got Debian going pretty well now.  I got ALSA working with the
proper order of sound cards, my network is using static address as I
wish, and the default kernel supports NTFS so am able to read and
write to my ntfs file system from normal users.

I do have one question that is bugging me.  I can't seem to get the
console to go into any mode other than 25X80 mode.  Even at the boot
prompt or in lilo.conf, I can specify vga=791 (first choice,
vga=extended (should give me 50 lines) but no matter what, I boot and
always get the 25 lines.  Under slackware, I got 50 lines all the time
with vga=extended.  So I think there is something in Debian that is
overriding me or Deb don't like my video card.  Is there something
else I should be looking for to control this?  My biggest herdle now
is to learn the configuration environment of Debian.  I'm used to
editing configuration files and Debian has got these config scripts to
simplify thing; I just need to learn them.

I appreciate the help and the help previously given me concerning the
boot problems.

Thanks.
