We are still not quite seeing eye to eye, Greg.
The problem is in how keys are interpreted by
sysinstall (or whatever drivers are feeding it).
In the timezone area of the sysinstall suite,
on Sun hardware, it can't interpret any of the
usual cursor movements to move to a timezone and
select it.  On the installed system the termcap
uses ctrl-HJKL as default cursor movements as in
vi, for example, when editing scripts or what.
Sysinstall does not detect any of that correctly
so one can't move and select timezones using any
of the usual expected cursor movement codes from
the keyboard.  The [sun] termcap was selected at
boot time, so SHOULD handle things correctly?
It doesn't.  Something needs tweaking....

Thanks

(The only thing that does work is a ctrl-n or a
 ctrl-p Emacs nonsense.  If that is what is the
 real way to go, then someone add some lines to
 the timezone header screen to TELL you to use
 that odd keystroking for cursor movement.  It
 is not intuitively obvious otherwise.)
