Hmm --- if defrag is still missing stuff, it's most likely to be the
terminfo / ncurses code used to drive the full-screen display. Try
compiling it statically and copying the relevant terminfo file to your
root floppy set. Alternatively, the next version of defrag may have
an option to disable the full-screen display at compile time and to
automatically compile statically, for use on root floppies.
Cheers,
Stephen.
