This looks great. Thanks, Uwe. I switched back to the default colors 
in the kernel config file from the ones that Nikos mailed out awhile 
ago. White on black looks much better when looking at reverse video, 
which apps like pine use for selecting.

I suggest keeping one of Nikos' lines in the config:
options   WS_KERNEL_COLATTR=WSATTR_HILIT

This makes the kernel messages at startup much more readable.
