The bulk of the terminfo files are in the ncurses-term package, all under /usr/share/terminfo; ncurses-base only provides the most common ones, files under /lib/terminfo and symlinks to them under /usr/share/terminfo. The /etc/terminfo dir is reserved for local terminfo descriptions. Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
