Note that, as things stand now, in hamm there is no xterm-color. /etc/terminfo/x/xterm includes the color definition, and there is a /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-old.[1] (There are also color_xterm, xterm-16color, and xterm-pcolor, but no xterm-color.) For some details see: http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/14/14366.html Kirk Hilliard [1] I hate dselect[2] in a color xterm since the whitespace surrounding the descriptive text of the information section is not colored, so big blocks of reverse video text jump around as I scroll through packages. Hence, I always run: # TERM=xterm-old dselect [2] I have noticed that, in hamm, dselect no longer seems to handle xterm resizing. Also, stray characters sometime appear after rapidly scrolling through packages. Has anyone else noticed this, and is it a bug in dselect, or in ncurses, or what? -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
