Hello Family,
I've been doing some remote serial administration with minicom at
work and have to use a serial line to admin during installation on a
Sparc box. I tried "tip" and it didn't seem to have any options for
setting TERM=vt100.
In minicom I've noticed that the default TERM is vt102 and have
tried to use all the advice in the manpages etc to set it to vt100.
[2_questions]
(A) Has anyone manipulated the TERM in minicom ?
(B) Can anyone point me to a description of the differences between
vt102 and vt100 ?
The installation screens on some of the alternate OS's for Sparc
(*BSD, Linux) have escape characters all over the place and I need
to try and get some console stability to install from a serial
cable. The project I'm working on is my own, I've purchased my own
Ultra10 (with no keyboard and no monitor) to run different non
Solaris OS.
So far redhat-6.2 sparc is the only OS that installed with no
problems :( and that was NOT the results I wanted to end up with.
