  23. I just installed RedHat Linux 5.1
  24. I wanted Kermit.
  25. As I went to fetch the most recent source from
  26. http://www.columbia.edu/kermit
  27. I noticed that there was a Linux RPM, from RedHat.
  28.  
  29. I downloaded it, and tried to install, but it wanted libncurses.
  30. so I installed libncurses from the RedHat CD-ROM #1.
  31. (Maybe I didn't get the version that Kermit wanted...)
  32.  
  33. Now Kermit runs, but it complains that it doesn't know about 
  34. set terminal type linux
  35. It also doesn't seem to know about vt102...
  36.  
  37. Did I miss something fundamental?
  38.  
  39. I could fetch the source, and build it myself, but if there is already an
  40. RPM sitting there, from RedHat, it seems sensible to try it.
