The terminal setup for ansi or cons25 goes away. For example, if I do a "/usr/src/release/sysinstall/rtermcap ansi" as root, nothing appears. If I exit and do it on my original login, I see ansi|any ansi terminal with pessimistic assumptions:co#80:li#24:cl=50\E[;H\E[2J: bs:am:cm=\E[%i%d;%dH:nd=\E[C:up=\E[A:ce=\E[K:ho=\E[H:pt: This doesn't happen on my system with a buildworld of 10 May 2000. Something has happened and it really messes up trying to edit from a telnet session as root. The setup for xterm's still works but I can't telnet in from a Window's system. This also messes up building sysinstall. The generated code for the ansi and 5 or 6 cons.... is totally bogus and kills the compile. -- Kent Stewart Richland, WA mailto:kstewart@3-cities.com http://www.3-cities.com/~kstewart/index.html FreeBSD News http://daily.daemonnews.org/ SETI(Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) @ HOME http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
