After some trial and error, I put

XTerm*color7:      #bebebe


in my .Xdefaults. Now the yellow sysinstall font is much more legible  
inside an xterm. This works for both xterm and rxvt. The rxvt man page  
proved very useful.


Now I have solved my problem but other users may experience the same  
problem. Is it possible to modify sysinstall so that it uses a darker  
background gray when run inside xterm? If not, we should add a note in the  
handbook.
