Um, yes, this is another bit of `progress' that breaks existing
installations who upgrade their kernels (no flames, please, we've already
had this discussion :)....add an alias to `console' in your /etc/termcap
for the name `linux' and that should take care of it. You can also set TERM
to console in your /etc/profile or do it manually in a shell session, as a
quick kluge to get you going....
