I don't care if they use termcap or terminfo. It bothers me that they have no HP700xx entry in there, not even in the pa-risc distribution. Specially the pa-risc distro can find a 700xx terminal at its console so it would be nice if the TERM boot parameter can be set to indicate a hp700 terminal.

On the other hand, I'm one of those sysadmins that can find its way around and I expect most installations to PA-Risc will be a kind of freak or hacker that can find a way. It is just a little uncomfortable.
