   1 If you don't want the bundled terminfo then don't symlink it into $HOME.

   3 Terminfo straight from Debian:
   4  - screen*
   5  - xterm (same as xterm-debian)
   6  - xterm-color
   7
   8 I created xterm-simple. This is a simpler profile with less advertised
   9 features. It's based on xterm-color, which is based on xterm-r6. It has ^? for
  10 backspace and ^[[3~ for delete
  11
  12 The following terminfo properties were added: hs, tsl, fsl, dsl. These are for
  13 the terminal status line, in this case the xterm titlebar.
  14

  16 How should you use these?
  17
  18 First, copy the .terminfo directory to every machine you log in to.
  19
  20 If you're running xterm, urxvt, konsole or any other compliant terminal you
  21 should set TERM=xterm and ensure that backspace/delete send ^? and ^[[3~
  22 respectively. TERM must be set in your console preferences, NOT in bashrc, etc
  23
  24 If you have problems only on a specific machine, older OSes in particular, try
  25 using TERM=xterm-simple on that machine.
  26 Eg, cp ~/.terminfo/x/xterm-simple ~/.terminfo/x/xterm
