I made the mistake of trying to build and install the gimp port from an xterm. When I came back to it, it had started sysinstall to configure the ghostscript driver. Sysinstall looks great in an xterm, but unfortunately keystrokes aren't mapped in a manner which works. e.g. The down arrow is echoed as "^[0B", and while normal characters such as 'x' and space are echoed properly, the sysinstall program apparently isn't seeing them -- the characters are simply echoed over (replacing) the text sysinstall has painted on the display, instead of "doing the right thing" such as selecting / deselecting the current item.
Is there some simple way out of this? I've still got the xterm up and would like to finish this install. Or should I just kill it, exit X, and try make from a normal vty?
Thanks for any insights,
