I think what we need in this case is something like a library that opens up to 4 ptys, and allows to hot-key switch between them. I don't know `screen', but i think it's doing something like this. I'm not sure whether it's possible to combine it with sysinstall though. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
