Question getting rid of ^H
Hello everybody

I have a very annoying problem on my Solaris (Unix in general) servers. When I open a shell and press the backspace button, it results in a ^H character being printed on screen. I can resolve it by typing stty erase <backspace>, but does anyone know how I can prevent the problem (add something to the profile perhaps).

Thanks

       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.
