Hi everyone,
to make a long story short, I'm currently experimenting with a variety of installation and software options on a separate disk. So for the first time, I've been using the console intensely, and the Scroll Lock key looks a bit worn now
For the first time, I tried to tweak the language settings for the console. German newsgroups do look better with umlauts.
I followed the instructions given in:http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~eserte/FreeBSD/doc/umlaute/umlaute.html
This document tells you to change the the TERM settings in /etc/ttys:
As a result, csh complained about not finding /etc/termcap
which was where it's supposed to be... vi and tin refused to work. I reverted the settings and all is well except that config menus look a bit strange.
So while this is not critical, it would be nice to have. There's a chance that I might have forgotten something. :-o
Cheers,
Frank
