	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.
