That's because you have to define it to TERM=cons25, that could be
hacked temporally maybe on /etc/evnironment.

Also our terminal is a bit fscked so you better run screen once you
dump the tarball into the disk. Otherwise things like Ctrl-C will not
work.

For other bugs or issues, take a look at the url Joshua has given you,
we have a list of known issues, status and todo files.

Just read the current docu, and if there is something missing ask so we
can complete them.

Nice to see more people interested. :>

Well at least for me diversity comes after making Debian more
portable, but it's an important poing anyway. =P
