Assuming the various video modes were properly activated during setup, or added
later, the plus and minus keys on your numeric keypad in combination with the
Ctrl-Alt keys will do the job.

To zoom in, use Ctrl-Alt-plus, and to zoom out, use Ctrl-Alt-minus.


If memory serves, the init files are somewhere in /usr.

If you can't find it from there, type the following:

updatedb <return>

When it's finished updating the database containing the listing of your entire
filesystem, (should be run periodically via cron), type:

locate EMC|less <return>

You can then use the, "less", program to view every file system path containing,
"EMC". Remember that on Unix/Linux systems. case is significant; In other
words, "EMC", is not the same thing as, "emc", or "eMc", etc.
