 This can easily be done by putting "ESC [ ? 5 h" at the bottom of
 /etc/issue, which is printed by mingetty on each console before inviting a
 login.

 The screen looks much better in black-on-white (though color-ls produces
 some rather unreadable
 output; blocks of color with black words embedded in them).  The fix for
 that, I think, is to turn off the color-ls aliases; they are in
 /etc/profile.d/colorls.sh .

 Alternatively, the kernel terminal emulator could be improved so that when
 in black-on-white mode, as in white-on-black mode, picking colors sets
 their FOREGROUND colors, not their BACKGROUND colors.
