Re: what's up with xterm?



[ my overreaction to Arrigo's post and his response snipped.  Basically,
  he wants TERM=xterm by default so that non-unix literate people at his
  site can install debian with a simple dpkg --set-selections. ]

I'm going to keep my view that they need some hand holding.  After all,
setting up X is something I wouldn't leave many to do on their own.  With
that assumption, would a simple "select the default term variable from the
list below (xterm, xterm-debian, xterm-xfree)" question being asked during
the xterm install solve your problem?  If so, that question has been
asked, and I'm sure Branden will get back to us when he has a chance.

Back to coding,
Brandon
