Alfonso Siciliano 8ea2d22e6d bsddialog: Fix for terminals without colours When running the installer, in particular disextract (which is so far the only part converted to bsddialog), on serial console or vt100 or actually any terminal without color support, it failed to start. This change makes bsddialog fallback on the black and white theme. This is incorporated in newer version of bsddialog which will be imported soon.

% cd bsddialog
% make
% ./bsddialog --msgbox "Hello World!" 8 20

If you are using XFCE install devel/ncurses

% sudo pkg install ncurses
% git clone https://gitlab.com/alfix/bsddialog.git
% cd bsddialog
% make -DPORTNCURSES
% ./bsddialog --msgbox "Hello World!" 8 20
