Re: Q:Terminal type not known

[Bob McClure Jr <robertmcclure earthlink net>]

Ok, maybe I assumed too much from your initial post.  Some questions:

1. Are you logging in from text login prompt or the GUI login screen
(from xdm, gdm, kdm(?), et al.)?

And that leads to the next question:

2. Does the problem occur in a text screen or the X Window environment?

3. What is the response to

  echo $TERM

in the problem environment?
