033. I am trying to build a new kernel. Why is it that "make menuconfig" does not display any colors when running under an xterm?

You could either use "make xconfig" or if you have the terminfo library installed you could say "export TERM=xterm-color" or something similar. Look at the entries in the terminfo library to chooses an appropriate value for the TERM environment variable.

 

Continue to:

• prev: 032. How can I have the "useradd" or "adduser" command automatically place some default files in a user's directory when that user is added to the system?
• Index
• next: 034. I am trying to get X to read my window manager's configuration file but with no success.

Share and Enjoy
