Subject: rescue: Pass $TERM from library into the virt-rescue appliance.
X-Git-Tag: 1.0.88~1
X-Git-Url: http://git.annexia.org/?p=libguestfs.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=977edb3185fe8f0cc01840227ac6d3ea1785d3c9

rescue: Pass $TERM from library into the virt-rescue appliance.

We set it on the kernel command line, then get it out from
there when the rescue appliance boots.
