I'm using framebuffer (rivafb & vesafb) using 1280x1024-24@85, and I'm looking for some nice fonts for the console. It's no "default-8x16", I've tried "default8x9" which was a bit to small, maybe a 8x12 would have done the trick.. but instead of trying out most of the fonts in the ../consolefonts/ folder I'm askin here to save time.. which would you recommend? I'm using norwegian keyboard, and a euro symbol would be a bonus, but not so important.

What is 'System.map' good for? (The file is in /usr/src/linux after you have compiled a kernel). I'm using grub as bootloader, and /boot is on 'noauto'. Is it only for debugging kernel oops (ref this post)? Can I just disregard it (not move/cp it to /boot)?

Where do I put global system aliases? I used to put them in /etc/bashrc in other distros..

In /boot, there is a symlink (./boot) to /boot, which would loop forever or so it seems. Is it nessesary? Whats the purpose?
