Package: install
Version: 3.0.17-2001-11-18
Severity: minor
Upon installing the testing distribution on a PReP PowerPC machine
over the serial console (using a TI 924 terminal in VT100 mode), I
came across the following minor issues:
- "progress bars" (while downloading packages) don't show up on this
monochrome terminal, probably because they're designed to set the
background color to red (IIRC from VGA-based installs), which is not
available on a mono terminal.
- the screen shows a "alt-F4 to debug, alt-F1 to return" message
which doesn't make sense if we're not on a virtual console.
- the installer fails to set the terminal to ttyS0 (instead of tty1)
in the inittab so /usr/sbin/base-config doesn't work after the first
reboot in the install process.
