So I'm guessing that's not what's doing it. Does anyone know what else /stand/sysinstall uses that it (or some other setting) would be unhappy with? I'm wondering if an ANSI setting somewhere is incorrect? I've noticed something else too. When pressing up to execute another command I get this type of behavior. it works normally if I type clear, then begin pressing up. But if I do something like "man clear" and then type q to exit the viewer before I view all of the info, THEN begin doing that, it will eventually only update the characters where it displays: Say I have a 'buffer' of 5 commands (as they would appear, bottom to top, as though I were pressing up) test test command clear /stand/sysinstall man clear Then: I press up once: root@server su$ man clear twice: root@server su$ /stand/sysinstall thrice: root@server su$ clear down once: root@server su$ /stand/sysinstall down twice: root@server su$ man clearsinstall That's probably the easiest example I can show. (it seems as though its caching a setting from something when I logged on from the FBSD test workstation posted before). When I try setting TERM to vt100 I get this when I load sysinstall: 0lqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqkB 0xB Probing devices, please wait (this can take a while)... 0xB 0mqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqjB When the menu loads, something isn't right (it's got a lot of extra line breaks in it), and if I go to it with the right arrow key to select exit menu, it quits, right away. And I'm put at a shell prompt, with the letter "C": root@server su$ C Down and it does the same, except the letter B: root@server su$ B Any ideas? vt220 seems to have this same effect. :/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
