how to make console look and feel like a regular telnet session

[Ratzie]

I am doing a presentation right from the console and dont like the way the text repeats and scrolls thru. I can now read any file in vi.

Anyone know how to make it feel like a normal terminal session?

It sounds as if some of you terminal settings on the console are off, but I'm not sure because I don't quite understand what you mean.

What do you mean "don't like the way the text repeats and scrolls thru."? Can you show an example?

Set the TERM variable to something reasonable.

I find TERM=hp works on serial consoles.

Note that for Ignite Install interfaces, you may need to change the settings in a serial console to EM100. Thats a hardware feature.

TERM=vt100 works well for secure web consoles.
