This can be cured by an entry in .Xdefaults and should be documented in the handbook. This problem has already been discussed in questions@freebsd.org. >How-To-Repeat: N/A >Fix: I suggest to add the following to section 2.5 "Introducing Sysinstall": If you already have X11 installed and the default colours chosen by sysinstall make text illegible while using xterm or rxvt, add the following to your ~/.Xdefaults to get a darker background gray: XTerm*color7: #c0c0c0 >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
