Local console: 1- All stuff that was supposed to be bold, was blue. 2- The screen would constanly become garbled. I would be typing something at the commandline and suddenly the cursor would just jump to the other side of the screen. 3- When the system boots up, everything is white on a red background. Not necessarily a problem, but it looks strange. Remote systems: 1- When I do either a setenv TERM vt220(or even vt100), and run pine, the screen turns to black text on a white background. 2- Same as #2 above. The thing is, I don't really want vt100/220 all the time. I just want it for those times when I'm working on the remote systems.
