I'm using a bare bones install of slackware for my mess-with-the-kernel machine. I didn't install X, or anything - so I'm just in the raw tty console. There's a penguin covering the top 5 or 6 lines - and bash obviously expects those lines to be there, because it covers the top of the output from the man pages, vi, etc... How do I get rid of that, anyone know? I could find anything on any other forums or documentation.

Besides - it's a really freaky looking penguin!

edit: Some ncurses programs seem to get rid of it. The menuconfig program for the kernel gets rid of it, but vi doesn't seem to. So I guess my question is how to stop it from showing up at boot...
