hi, (concerns freebsd 5.2-release) when I restart in single user mode with: "shutdown now" I choose: /bin/csh as my shell. Set TERM variable: set TERM cons25 and try to start sysinstall: /stand/sysinstall A message appears: Try to set the TERM variable before using sysinstall Sysinstall will use ASCII mode .. (The message is not 100% exact) It looks like it doesn't accept or recognize the TERM variable? What's wrong with my TERM variable, I have also tried: set TERM=cons25 or anything imaginable, nothing worked! What can I do? It is actually impossible to use sysinstall in ASCII mode, you can't navigate in it, it immediately crashes. many thanks
