    Is there a cmdline.txt change that I can do to remove any console word-wrapping?

      Hi

      I am on a very small screen and the console outputs when booting/shutting down wrap to the next line making it look really messy. To be honest I'd rather they just clip off the right of the screen on the same line, it would look neater for me!

      Is there anything I can modify in cmdline.txt which will give me this behavior? I was looking at

      https://linux.die.net/man/1/stty

      To see if there was anything on there, there are mentions of "newline" but I'm not sure how I would implement these options in a cmdline.txt.

      Many thanks for any help!

        I don't think stty would help here, but try adding quiet to the cmdline.txt line, this should suppress the boot messages. See more options at https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#how-do-i-hide-the-boot-text.
