Hi all! Please dont flamme me for that unimportant question. But I was wondering, why `/dev/fd*'s are mounted at /floppy. When reading fsstnd, you would expect them to be mounted in /mnt/someting. Since /floppy is neither one of those un*x shorties nor used during installation I can't see why i

First of all, the COLORTERM entry did exactly what I was looking for. But why not adding something like that by default. Since it works for all slang programs I think it should get into a .deb-file. Its more easy to put a `#'-sign in front of some lines than searching for the correct variable set
