Forgot to add in steps that I did restart phone after Terminal Installation to 
get it to show up on springboard.

OK, so this is a minor incompatibility with mobile terminal and the 
installer.app's BSD install.
Mobile Terminal looks for /bin/login but the installer.app BSD places login in 
/usr/bin/login
It's funny, I was just about to enter this as a bug when I saw your bug.  I 
don't know if your happy rebuilding the 
vt100 branch source code or not, but you can simply grep for login and change 
it to /usr/bin/login and it will 
work.  Or, you can create a symlink in your /usr/bin that points to 
/usr/bin/login.

Looks like a recompile may be in order. I created the symlink and now Terminal 
is just hanging at a black screen 
for several seconds before returning me to spring board. Would it be looking 
for anything else that would 
require a symlink to work with the BSD Subsystem package? Thanks for your tip 
BTW!

Don't symlink it. Copy it to /bin/login, then chmod 6755 /bin/login. Works for 
me.

BTW - the pie interface is a really clever hack. Any chance you can add visual 
feedback to button presses?

Closing this bug, since the terminal checked into the trunk looks in multiple 
places
and will show error messages if the right files are not executable for not 
found. 
This  has been checked into the "trunk" and will be in the next binary release.

Please open a new bug if you'd like to see more work done on the pie interface 
-- thanks!
