Why is linux console window in VMWare so small?

I install linux in VMWare, but Its console window is too small, Its size is 80*25, I can't change it even though I use full srceen mode in VMWare.How can I do? please help me! Thanks!

Have you tried putting vga=ext in lilo.conf and then re-running /sbin/lilo ?

Altenately, you might be able to add it to the LILO command prompt as in:

LILO: linux vga=ext

or

LILO: linux append="vga=ext"

I use grub, I can't find lilo.confg, How can I do? Thanks

Place vga=791 (or other mode you need) option in the "kernel" line (grub.conf)
