Some initial problems
Hello,
bored of the rubbish that slackware blows on my disk, I looked for an
alternative - and found debian.
Yesterday I tried to install the base-disks from buzz-fixed/binary-i386/disks
(feivel.informatik.rwth-aachen.de).
I ran into some problems which are not mentioned in the FAQs I found...
The problems seem to have started when /root/.configure got the control:
- I misspelled the password for the user acount I was asked for. Result: A broken
useraccount and a request for another useraccount. This is not realy a problem
to me but it's ugly and maybe very confusing to newcomers...
- The $TERM Environment-Variable is set to "con80x25" on my system which caused
dselect to print an error-message and exit - no possibility to install
additional packages... (Error-Message something like "Error opening terminal:
con80x25.")
The second problem is still there - I can't get an editor, dselect or similar
unless I set&export TERM=linux manually. And - worse - I can't find where TERM
is set to the confusing value.
What did I do wrong?
Jens Peter.
