&#39;you can change this value to wsvt25 instead, to get colors&#39;<br>
<br>
That&#39;ll teach me for doubting the docs.<br>
<br>
I don&#39;t have the machine with me, but checked the installation disk (which uses \
high res console and colours) - this uses wsvt25 as $TERM. The machine I was playing \
about with earlier didn&#39;t have this as it&#39;s $TERM value.<br> <br>
