Re: xterm problems
Yeah, I mentioned this on the list a few days ago.
Grab a copy of /etc/terminfo/x/xterm from a bo machine and it will work
OK. Seems that Debian decided to go with a new version of xterm that the
rest of the world does not work with yet.
An alternative is setting your TERM environment variable to xterm-old when
you get onto the hamm machine.
