To avoid crowding at my table, I have the dev1 machine in another
room, and I'm trying to do the final config remotely from the Gentoo
machine. Problem... the terminal (xterm) is not clearing the screen
when I start a new program. This makes vim and other pseudo-textmode
programs virtually unusable. I've checked and at the true text console
command prompt (not GUI) on both machines "echo $TERM" gives "linux".
When I ssh to the Devuan machine, "echo $TERM" gives "xterm". Example
follows; any ideas for a solution?
* I ssh from Gentoo machine to root @ Devuan machine
* issue the command "mc -a"
* exit mc (with {F10} key)
* vim .bashrc
xterm screengrab follows (the "|" are the panel separators in "mc")
