Manuel,
Maybe I misunderstand what you mean by "lines end up getting cut off at
some point" so correct me if I got it wrong, but I assume you mean that
after a certain number of lines entered you can no longer scroll back up
and view the earlier lines?
If this is the case, then, and again I assume you are using Gnome
(default in FC) as the desktop system, then open a terminal. The Edit >
Current Profile in the menu bar for the terminal. Select the Scrolling
Tab. Alter Scrollback lines and kilobytes accordingly to suit. You only
need to do one, not both - I find it easier to think in numbers of
lines so I changed that. You'll have to modify this if you use KDE or
another window manager with FC3.
