RE: [SLUG] make menuconfig ncurses
Running it from a console (no X installed) Turns out that if I ssh using putty it works sort of fine.

See: http://info.ccone.at/INFO/Mail-Archives/redhat/Dec-2002/msg00514.html Actually my /etc/sysconfig/i18n now looks like: LANG=en_US SUPPORTED=en_US:en:pt_BR:pt SYSFONT=iso01.16 #LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 #SUPPORTED=en_AU.UTF-8:en_AU:en:en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en #SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 HTH On Friday 14 February 2003 09:18, Daniel Harper wrote: I have just installed Redhat 8.0 professional on a Dell PowerServer, however I am having problems with make menuconfig.
