Description Arthur Britto 2002-12-14 19:33:11 UTC
The file /usr/share/term/info/nxterm is missing.

cdimage root # ls -l /usr/share/terminfo/x
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           11 Sep 14 17:24 xterm -> xterm-color
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           11 Sep 14 17:24 xterm-color -> ../n/nxterm
cdimage root # ls -l /usr/share/term/info/n
ls: /usr/share/term/info/n: No such file or directory
Comment 1 Arthur Britto 2002-12-15 17:16:36 UTC
In the previous message, the path "/usr/share/term/info/nxterm" should be
"/usr/share/terminfo/n/nxterm".

To see the problem, boot the install cd and there is no "n" subdirectory in
"/usr/share/terminfo".

What ISO are you using, for reference?
Comment 3 Arthur Britto 2002-12-15 23:51:22 UTC
Unfortunately I did not keep a copy of the ISO file, but I believe the ISO file
with the problem is this one:

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/releases/1.4_rc1/x86/livecd-basic-1.4_rc1-r2.iso

I have confirmed this fixed on our latest "experimental" livecds, which can be
found at http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/experimental/livecd/. I am closing this bug.
Thank you for reporting it :)
Comment 5 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-03-25 11:24:23 UTC
Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
