Re: [Cooker] initscripts trouble

Hello,

At the weekend I updated to initscripts 4.97-9mdk, setup 2.1.9-4mdk and removed
my hacks from keytable.

Everything works fine now.

Thankyou very much for all you efforts.

I saw the same thing. Setting the tty seem to fix it.
But I do think that this should be done in the default setup.

if you type 'tty erase ^?' on command line, does it change anything ?

Everything appears to be okay, except:

The old 'Backspace sends ^?' no longer works. The ^? sequence now sends Forward
Delete. I have overriden the keytable section so that it uses only ^h, but this
has adverse effects on some X console apps.. I think that ^? should still send
backspace, since this worked before and it seems more universal.

Thanks,
Owen

put it in setup :ppp

I don't believe he was using the horribly bad English some people use by
saying "try and tell you" when they mean "try to tell you", but rather he
actually meant "and" as if he was doing two things, first he would try it,
and then (after having done so) he would tell you about it.  Give him a
chance to try it first.  Then he'll put you out of your misery.  :)

Were you cut short. The last I got was 'gonna try and tell you about it.' and
then you didn't ! Please tell me and put me out of my misery :)

this has been removed in the initscripts-4.97-2mdk i have here. But seems like
the changelog release is greater than real release so i wonder if there is not a
dupe somewhere...

this one seems good:
