bicon for Debian
----------------

* If your console is other than 25 lines by 80 columns, then set the LINES and
COLUMNS environment variables to the correct values before running bicon.
For example, I use vga=0x314 in kernel options which gives me 50 lines by 100
columns console, so before running bicon I set the LINES and COLUMNS variables
as follows:

export LINES=50
export COLUMNS=100

You can also add those lines in your .bashrc.

Better yet, you can add this line in your .bashrc:

shopt -s checkwinsize

Which will automatically update the correct values of LINES & COLUMNS
variables, then you can add those two lines:
export LINES
export COLUMNS

* This package depends on console-setup for keyboard configuration, to
  configure arabic keyboard edit the following variables in
  /etc/defaul/console-setup:

XKBLAYOUT="us,ar"
XKBOPTIONS="grp:toggle"

This makes the right-Alt key toggle between US & Arabic keyboard layouts.
