or 'rxvt' or anything.... Do an 'echo $TERM' on the Solaris system to
see what variable it wants.On the Linux system, do 'infocmp xterm-debian' (or whatever variable) and
redirect that to a file. (E.g., 'infocmp xterm-debian >xterm-debian.ti'.)Send that file over to Solaris.
Then on Solaris, as yourself (unless you want this to be system-wide) you
can do:mkdir ~/.terminfo
TERMINFO=~/.terminfo
export TERMINFO
tic -v xterm-debian.tiIf you want it to be system-wide, you can omit the first three lines and
run the tic as root.You may want to read /usr/doc/xterm/README.Debian as well, even if you
aren't using xterm.--
