Hello,

I have checked:

/etc/termcap exists and its rights are set to rwrr
I have executed 'export TERM=linux' (also tried with ansi) and get the same answer:
TERM=linux unknown

Note that I have no termcap or ncurses executable (and I don't know what they are for).

Thanks

Is there an /etc/termcap? What does your TERM environment variable
look like? Is it set? Anyway you should set TERM=linux and copy the
supplied termcap to /etc or mount the directory containing termcap on
/etc.
