minicom for Debian ------------------ minicom normally needs to be setuid root so normal users can access the devices. In Debian, minicom is not setuid root and users need to be added to the `dialout' group to be able to access serial devices. After minicom has been installed, you should run minicom as root with the `-s' flag to set the system-wide configuration, which will be written to /etc/minicom/minirc.dfl. If the terminfo definition provided with minicom doesn't work for you, the font can be switched using `setfont'. -- Martin A. Godisch Sun, 30 Mar 2003 21:58:36 +0200
