Now that xend launches pygrub, it no longer picks up the user's
$TERM setting. This is fatal on Solaris where TERM isn't set, but it
also seems wrong on Linux.

Any suggestions? We can't know what terminal type xenconsole is going
to be running at before it attaches. :( We could set some sensible
(and, if you like, architecture-dependent) default value.
Cheers,
Tim.

How about VT100 on Solaris and 'linux' or VT100 on Linux?
Peace.

All I can suggest is a default plus maybe a config option for the
domain...

OK, we'll run with TERM=vt100, which should play nicely with most
things.
