Subject: Potota install writes to the wrong console
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Package: Boot Disks
Version: potato, March 29, 2000 release
I was loading kernel modules and switching to the alternate console do
mount a disk. Detecting the available modules takes a long time so I
switched screens while the install program scanned for them. Then, the
install screen drew itself on the current console (F2) instead of the F1
console. I switched to the F1 console and pressed enter and it selected
the EXIT option as expected even though the screen was incorrect.
I'm installing potato on an old IBM thinkpad. I don't know if it would
be different on other machines.

tausq told me that the bug is fixed already. Maybe that was the
reason why I could not reproduce it... Darn! Spent too much time
in building a test environment.
