Setting up a line-mode terminal

The line-mode terminals are primarily intended for booting Linux.

The preferred user access to a running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP4 instance is through a user login that runs, for example, in an ssh session.

Tip: If the terminal does not provide the expected output, ensure that dumb is assigned to the TERM environment variable. For example, enter the following command on the bash shell:

# export TERM=dumb
