Yeah, but won't that mess things up? 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.
