Re: [MiNT] termcap problem

I do not know if I have a damaged installation, or finger
trouble.

My installation of this package is, right now, from a tape file
backup. Whenever MiNT has kernel errors, such as from running
Tar, which should be rock stable, my MiNT drive is dead.

I re-installed everything a few times, then found that formatting
the drive, partitioning the drive, installing a file system on
the drive, and restoring from a tape file backup was the only
thing that would work, other than a new install.

At least I thought it worked. X.app runs, and opens a little
window that will not take input. Xterm runs, says it cannot find
a useable font, seems to call X.app, and I get another little
useless window.

Are my fingers working in the wrong order, or what? How should
this work?  Should I re-install EasyMiNT and start over, or what?
