Maybe that's the reason, but changing TERM has no effect whatsoever,
see, whatever TERM is it just never works, but strangely, GNU Screen
works perfectly, New screen sessions and attached ones, My TERM in GNU
Screen is 'screen-256color'...
@Peter have you tried my envirenment on your Fedora install? I tried
installing fedora but it kickstart doesn't support LVM over DM-CRYPT
setup, that'll be fixed in Fedora 9 AFAIK...
