There is already a terminfo entry for at386 on all remotely recent Solaris boxes, for the Solaris x86 console, which works with cons25. As a tcsh user, I put this in my .cshrc file on the Solaris boxes; if ( $?TERM ) then if ( "$TERM" == "cons25" ) setenv TERM at386 endif When I install Solaris machines I do; cd /usr/share/lib/terminfo/c ; ln -s ../a/at386 cons25 I'm mostly a Solaris admin. Either seems to work fine for me, although I don't push the FreeBSD console much anymore, and is less effort than getting the termcap/terminfo entries together :) Unfortunately there isn't an entry that I know of that works for colour xterms, but that can be solved as described above. I don't use them, so don't need it. P. -- pir pir@pir.net pir@net.tufts.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
