That would seem to be the best overall solution... But, it does seem like a lot of extra complication too. Since sysinst is a full-screen program, redrawing the screen should work for any kind of "console" connection. Doesn't pressing <CTRL-L> already work to manually trigger a screen redraw in many instances, or am I mis-remembering? Maybe just a wee hint about using ^L in one of the earlier messages would suffice? -- Greg A.
