Hi all,
I'm trying to install Suse10 on an IBM RS/6000 H50, but when I boot from the cdrom and choose install it detects my terminal as an xterm. I'm using a serial console with minicom and the yast messages all get messed up. Normally I could do export TERM=vt100 but I don't see how I can do this when I choose install. Any suggestions?
Can you pass it as a kernel cmdline option? It will end up in the enviroment of linuxrc, and linuxrc parses also /proc/cmdline and may set TERM= to that value. -- short story of a lazy sysadmin: alias appserv=wotan
