mach-console

how can I change it?

What I want when I put in GRUB menu.lst:  "terminal --lines=xx" is  the 
text which appears on the screem to be displayed in  xx lines; so I 
would like to reduce the size of the letters on the screen.
When I use others SO, such as Debian,  It works!

any ideas??
