Which sounds like you're using Microsoft's telnet client. Ugh. Download PuTTY (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/) and use that. You'll be much happier, and it will provide you with an SSH client as well, which you will want to use instead of telnet. (Insecure telnet, i.e. non-SSL enabled, is a really ugly security exposure.)
I'm not sure what you mean by "FTP the images down." Are you saying that you selected the FTP installation method? If so, when it has the things it needs to continue the installation, it will do so. If you're doing this from the Internet, though, you're probably in for a _very_ long wait. If you think you'll need to do this again, it would behoove you to download the software onto a local system, and use that as your installation source.

I am using a standard IBM PC THINKCENTER with XP. I am just going to continue on but it is difficult. I am FTP the images down. How do I know when the FTPs are finished? Is there something on the LINUX master console message I should look for? thanks -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Post, Mark K Sent: Friday, May 05, 2006 12:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Possible Spam] Re: installing centos telnet screen all messed up! What telnet client are you using, and what terminal type are you specifying (or is defaulting) to be used?
