Hi, I'm new to the list, and to Linux in general. I manually installed Debian 1.3 and XFree 3.3 (no CD-ROM or anything...just d/l and put on floppies). I've had some problems with X, but I think I've got most worked out. (Whoever mentioned the Microsoft ps/2 style ..*thanks*! that's one less problem I have :-)
My new problem is X bounces out to the message (yes, 3 times): xterm: unable to find usable termcap entry. xterm: unable to find usable termcap entry. xterm: unable to find usable termcap entry. My screen also shifts one character to the left and wraps to the right hand side. I found some scrap of some document on some website that mentioned that "The file /etc/termcap is a text file that lists the terminal capabilities. Several applications use the termcap information to move the cursor around the screen and do other screen-oriented tasks. tcsh, bash, vi and all the curses-based applications use the termcap database." I have a terminfo directory, but no termcap file....what do I need to do, and what would cause this type of failure? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
