This is really braindead as you often want to resize your xterm and many applications simply worship TERMCAP as the most reliable source of info. It also makes anything that uses libslang unusable as it thinks my TERMCAP is too simple :) This should be disabled by default. -- Debian GNU/Linux 1.1 is out! { http://www.debian.org/ } A.
