Need to do a screen shot of a text console during an install?
Here's a short way to do CONSOLE screen shots during an install -- never know, may need it for a bug report. I just used it during a RH62 install and it helped out so that I didn't have to type in the stuff - potentially making a typographical error (not to mention the time to copy it down by hand, then type it in...)

mkdir /a
mknod /a/vcs1 c 7 1
mknod /a/vcs2 c 7 2
mknod /a/vcs3 c 7 3
mknod /a/vcs4 c 7 4
mknod /a/vcs5 c 7 5
mknod /a/vcs6 c 7 6

mount /tmp/fd0 /mnt/floppy
cat /a/vcs4 >/mnt/floppy/capture.txt
