I changed them (if possible) to be readable on a single line at 640x480.
Some like openssh (I think ) get their last word cut off in the dialog box at 
640x480, but the general intent is still clear.

It is one of the reasons I opted for 800x600 to be the default console 
resolution, it is viewable on a 13 inch monitor with a 1MB pci graphics card, 
for those wanting to make use of old hardware, and all the installer hints 
( bottom of screen cursor highlighted/driven hints) are now readable at 
800x600. Previously many were truncated at 640x480 and some of my recent 
addtitions just plain didn't make sense when limited to the 640x480 width.
