 ==== Configuring GRUB ====
-Possibly you already did part of the GRUB configuration if you also use my [[grub|GRUB Splashscreen]]. Here I'll assume you didn't.
+Possibly you already did part of the GRUB configuration if you also use my [[archive:grub|GRUB Splashscreen]]. Here I'll assume you didn't.
 First, you need to do some default settings in GRUB. The file ''/etc/default/grub'' needs to be edited for that.
   * Find the line ''GRUB_TERMINAL=console''. If it is not a comment, make it one or change it to ''GRUB_TERMINAL=gfxterm''.
-  * Find the line ''#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480'' and uncomment it (if it already isn't). Change the resolution to the value you wish to use.((You can also add a colour-depth, like e.g. ''1920x1080x32''))\\ If you are unsure which resolutions are supported, just hit 'c' in the GRUB menu and enter the command ''vbeinfo''. It should then list all available modes.

 ===== Console Font =====
 In Debian the default console font is "Fixed". This font is fine for the occasional console user, but a much more readable and beautiful font is "Terminus". In Debian the packages "console-setup" and "console-terminus" should be installed by default. If not, just install them:
-  # apt-get install console-setup console-terminus
+  # apt install console-setup console-terminus
 Afterwards run the console setup:
   # dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

 Afterwards, reboot your machine and enjoy the console!
-===== "tweakconsole.sh" shell script =====
-<WRAP 50% round download>
-{{wiki:tweakconsole.tar.gz|tweakconsole.tar.gz}}\\
-Size: 3,6 kB
-</WRAP>
-Throughout this site you can find things about how to make several programs more useful or beautiful. Like the [[apps:ZSH]], a nice [[grub|GRUB Splashscreen]], a good [[sources.list]] and many more.
-Of course it is not much work implementing that kind of stuff, but if you have to do it over and over again it becomes dull and eventually you'll also forget to do a little tweaking here and there.
-Long ago, in the DeskTux stoneage, I had a script I called "SysInstall" to take that work and more out of your hands. It aimed to be able to install a whole customized system. But that became unmaintainable for me and I also didn't want any confusions with [[http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/using-sysinstall.html|FreeBSD's Sysinstall]]. So I decided to take that offline.
-But now I took a different approach. Usually I install a Debian standard system (so no selections during the installation except for "Standard System") and from there I only install the software I want. But a few things are //always// the same. So I made a script "tweakconsole.sh" that does all the dull work for me and never even forgets about a single step.
-The script can be downloaded {{wiki:tweakconsole.tar.gz|right here}}. Just unpack it, change into the directory "tweakconsole" and run the script: ''./tweakconsole.sh''. Done!
-This will install a few useful programs and configure the [[apps:ZSH]], implement my [[sources.list]] for you as well as some other neat stuff. Just check out the script to see what it does!
