DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #83 from Kieren Diment <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
GOT GIBBERISH? And wondering what to do next, to clear the
mess? Clear your command-line buffer with control-C (in case
you'd entered something that might be harmful), and then enter
reset
which is a symlink to /usr/bin/tset which is a portion of
"ncurses-bin" package. ("apt-get install ncurses-bin")
Also see "man tset" for more info.
