setting a different terminal font for linux

[Glaanieboy]

I installed Mandrake linux some time ago and because I seriouly f00ked up some things (rm * when logged in as root ), I reformatted the thing and installed all over again.
Now I noticed that I have a large, DOS-like, terminal font (I mean the tty terminals, not the shells you can call while in X-server mode), I want this to be a smaller font, just like the previous situation. Is there a GUI to set this, so I can see immediately if I like the font? What file should I edit? HOW?

Its mandrake i wouldnt know, FreeBSD i do know, you can set different fonts and how big the screen size is and all.

I suggest checking /etc/tty or try a man terminal of some sort, also do a search at google you are bound to come up with something.

and rm -rf / is more effective than rm *.

"rm *" will just destroy everything in the dir you're in wont it, not including folders or their contents?

yep, so if he did it in / it wouldnt have done enough damage to destroy his install

rm -rf / would however.
