[plug] debian console screen size

[Caleb Duggan]

My laptop has debian on it and i boot straight into the console.  How do I  
change the resolution of the console so that it takes up the whole screen?  
- I have tried adding vga=ask in to my menu.lst file for grub and, none of  
the modes it lists make it use the whole screen, they just make the text  
smaller but it stays in the same area.

any help will be appreciated.
