I suspended that session after it started to retreive debs from the CD. There is one weird thing I do not understand. Remember the black character at the bottom-right corner? Well, it is now one line higher than it used to be. I made sure to refresh the screen, this is not a transient glitch. Strange. Later on in the install it moved to the bottom where I expect it. After cfdisk runs, the screen is corrupted. Looks like cdebconf draws the next dialog box on top of what cdebconf left on the screen, without clearing it. I don't know if it's related, but I then ran a shell from the menu, and the terminal was in stair-step mode. Never seen that before. I was interested to see if what I had done in the shell would remain on the screen when I got back to the menu, but it jumped into high priority mode and ran something that immediatly displayed a red error, which redrew the screen, so I don't know. The progress bar dialog does of course resize a few times, even with debootstrap fixes, since the descriptions of some kernel modules are rather long. I wish it would only grow bigger, not smaller.. -- see shy jo
