I'm already being affected; I can't login to an IRIX
system as I'm used to do before from a FC3t1 system.
It now complain "unknown terminal TERM=gnome", won't
set my environment variable properly and thus I can do
anything on it. Anyone care to let me know how to
revert to the old terminal type on my FC3t1.
Thanks.
