change "console" to "linux". As you can check that is the entry in the terminfo database. I think the change occurred in the 1.3.x development stage of Linux. lazaro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Would very much like to try debian but can't run dselect. Please take a quick look... it can't be a difficult one: After having installed debian for the first time and logging in as root I got the opportunity to install packages with dselect. However, when dselect started, it gave the message: error opening terminal con80x25 and quit, leaving me with an almost empty system. The TERM variable was indeed con80x25. Changing it to "console" did'nt help. Does anybody know what I did wrong? Thanks for helping! ===================Servalys Analytical Chemistry Services================= Wybo H.
