Bug#128941: Difficulties with monochrome display
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 3.0.18-2001-12-21, downloaded from the Debian archive
Severity: normal
With a monochrome monitor the current implementation of the progress
bar is useless since it keeps shown as it was shown on the beginning of
the process.
That is, it keep shows that the process has not been started (or, if
you like, has ended).
All of the above happen without giving the mono boot option.
Then I was advised to use the mono boot option. However with this option
there was no indication of which line is currently selected. That is,
none of the lines had a black background and there was no indication for
pressing the arrow keys. Therefore I gave up trying to get the installation
processes where a progress bar is shown.
