I test screen enabled d-i image on my ARM based device, which is basically a board, with ethernet port, but with no VGA/HDMI port. So only way to install debian on that board is via SSH or serial console. That's also the reason why I want to support screen on debian installer. Test method is easy if all udeb packages are ready. I have the following local udeb, which is not in official apt repo yet: $ ls -l localudebs/ total 428 -rw-r--r-- 1 roger roger 59166 Apr 2 22:33 libtinfo5-udeb_6.0+20160319-2_armel.udeb -rw-r--r-- 1 roger roger 9206 Apr 11 23:11 rootskel_1.116_armel.udeb -rw-r--r-- 1 roger roger 344404 Apr 11 22:25 screen-udeb_4.3.1-3_armel.udeb local udeb files need to be put into build/localudebs/ under checked-out debian-installer.git repo. After that, command "make reallyclean && make build_marvell_network-screen" can start to build the d-i image. "network-screen" is a new target, copied from network-console and added screen-udeb support. I didn't push the changes on creating "network-screen" target, so currently you cannot test this. I'll inform you when it's ready. BTW. I have a few minor issues pending. I'd appreciate If you have any clue. - screen will report a error message when starting in d-i: /var/run/utmp: No such file or directory I tried to set "deflogin off" and "login off" in /etc/screenrc, but seems it doesn't help. - window 4 of screen is for log: tail -f /var/log/syslog it's better if it can be set as "respawn" as in /etc/inittab [0] - as you can see I make title for each window And I start screen by "screen -t installer /sbin/debian-installer", so window 1 is titled as "installer" But using "C-a c" to create a new window also will be titled as "installer", which is better to be able to change the default title. I already tried to find these answer in manpage, but failed. However these are really minor issue, so it's okay leave it for the moment.
