Maybe you need to convince your ncurses to have termcap fallback support?

Hmmm, so all I would need is a suitable /etc/termcap. Makes sense. It does not exist right now, so maybe ncurses won't need convincing. Gonna try that. Thanks.

ncurses generally uses the /usr/lib/terminfo/ directory tree; it was
older curses that used the /etc/termcap file. However, I think ncurses can be built to fall back to /etc/termcap (as Tom suggests).

Actually, I kind of put that problem in the low priority list. I have to worry about more sophisticated partitioning options now (here I go fetch sfdisk sources and build static), and everything works fine with boring "echo" and "read". I'll get back to beautifying later. Thanks for the help people.
