Hi, PuTTY is able to work perfectly with Linux on the Z, but there is some parameters to set.
My settings are : In Terminal, check Use background color to erase screen. This will allow you a "pretty" drawing of ncurses applications like YaST and mc. This is a must, otherwise the background will be transparent, so black if your background is black. In Window, set a big number for the Lines of scrollback parameter, or you will not be able to scroll the screen to see long output, like a Tripwire report. I use 20,000 lines. In Window/Translation, choose the Use unicode line drawing code points to have a better drawing on the screen in ncurses applications. You can compare with the Poor man's line drawing to see for yourself. In Window/Colours, check the Allow terminal to specify ANSI colours, Allow terminal to use xterm 256-colour mode and Bolded text is a different colour. This is going fine for me. I did not touch the encoding and languages parameters. I use PuTTY 0.58 by the way. Regards. On 10/12/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I want to get PuTTY to display YaST and mc file manager properly. Right now the line drawings only work for one or the other via setting translation in PuTTY to either ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8. If I ssh to SLES10 from another Linux terminal they both display OK. Is there another setting in PuTTY that does it all? Alternatively, is there something else besides PuTTY that handles this better?
