No question bob is right and console messages could be get rid off this way.
BUT: Working around the problem this way would cause the next questions
concerning textconsole output switches GD, GF, GR, GS, GW. My "Catching the

Apropos FIFO: Yet anybody really has tried get it2work? Seems not2be doable
as easy as first thought by me, regrettable.
