yes, the list server for debian-user see's the attachment and apparently
sends the whole msg to /dev/null. Neither msg has come back in aound 6
hours.

Thats what I thought I was doing, by opening a konsole on the client
machine, but when I saved the screenshot, it was a png. x was running on
the client machine, so there needs to be a method to make it text also.
The installer was started in expert text mode, but ssh apparently
overrides that somehow when it finds x running on the client. Should I
have been running the client w/o x or wayland? I am not even sure how to
switch vt's away from x to whatever #2 or #3 is called.
