That's what i would like to point out. The install stuff now needs to
deal properly with different terminal types. The current single user
shell doesn't -- it always bites me since most of my machines run pcvt
which is vt100-compatible.
Hmm, sysinstall runs standalone, i.e. it doesn't even invoke a
single-user shell. Hell, where does it get its TERM variable from?
