Because you have been REPEATEDLY and SPECIFICALLY told to do this
over SSH from an xterm. Your aversion to actually doing what you are
advised, instead reinstalling the operating system some different
way TWENTY EIGHT TIMES is beyond comprehension. Advised to do this
text mode over SSH for ease of copy and paste, you intentionally
choose to do it instead in a way where you know you can't easily do
that. It's perverse.
I'm starting to think we are stuck in some sort of social
experiment, honestly. For my own mental health I cannot continue,
sorry.
