Package: debian-installer Severity: wishlist I'm installing etch on a sparc system through serial console. Sun machines apparently use 9600 baud on the serial port. The screen update method of the installer makes this process really slow.
The screen is drawn about three times for each new page. First the background is filled, then the dialog box is drawn on top of that, and finally the whole thing is erased with a third pass when the dialog is finished. The screen blanking and background drawing are really unnecessary, it should be possible to optimize them away. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-rc4-melech (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
