After installing Debian base packages I installed elvisnox.  But, I see that
after booting the TERM environment variable is set to cons80x25. How can I 
best set it to another value (eg linux) during boot for all users?  Where is 
it set anyway?



Isn't it specified in /etc/inittab?  Should be one of the arguments to the gettys that run on the console ttys.

Just my $0.02.  Hope it helps.
