  I see, thank you.  What I really wanted to do is capturing the
sysinstall screen images.  (My goal is publishing "Install guide" WWW
pages with these graphics.)  I could do this by xv(l), kterm(1) and
vga font came with pcemu(1); please see
http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~ZW6T-KND/welcome.gif for an example,
doesn't it seem good?  I also captured all steps of sysinstall happily
until it had stopped :-(

  Thank you again for hints.  Then I'm going to try hack sysinstall.
