Re: need help: error opening terminal con80x25 during instal

change "console" to "linux". As you can check that is the entry in the terminfo 
database. I think the change occurred in the 1.3.x development stage of Linux.

Hi,
 
I asked this question earlier but got no answer. Would very much like 
to try debian but can't run dselect. Please take a quick look... it 
can't be a difficult one:
 
After having installed debian for the first time and logging in as 
root I got the opportunity to install packages with dselect.  However, 
when dselect started, it gave the message:
 
error opening terminal con80x25
 
and quit, leaving me with an almost empty system. 
The TERM variable was indeed con80x25. Changing it to "console" did'nt help. 
Does anybody know what I did wrong?
 
Thanks for helping!
