I see one serious problem. You will have to use the iso font, which makes
sysinstall look like _shit_. All the frames become 8bit characters, and stuff.
I don't recommend you try it, and I hope the next sysinstall (if it uses
"windows" like the old one) uses minuses, pipe chars, etc to build borders
on the "windows" instead of the charcters which aren't there in the iso font.
