Out of curiousity, is there any reason why the
NetBSD install scripts blink themselves to death
when arriving at the timezone selection screens?
It happens on the VAX, Sparc, and also (I think)
the X86 installs. Although it does not totally
trash the screens, it makes them rather hard to
read, and there seems to be no clear logic as
to why it is blinking itself in the first place.
Writing the header lines, followed by a numbered
list of entries where you select a number then
"x" to exit ought to work, and be much less
bothersome to the eyes, and trashing of the
video output. Somewhere around 1.4 or 1.5 this
seems to have crept into the works.
Just constructively thinking out loud....(:+}}.
Thanks
