Minicom problem for Debian Newbie

[I.B. Mackey]

Using minicom in a regular console. Can't seem to get color. When I load
the with minicom -t mc, error says termcap database missing. I've
installed the termcap compatible package. 

I also noticed that the pico editor is black and white, also. Is this a
related problem? Any help much appreciated.

You do not need the termcap package, or the mc termcap entry perse.
Just use minicom -c on.
