That would seem to be the best overall solution...
But, it does seem like a lot of extra complication too.
Since sysinst is a full-screen program, redrawing the screen should work
for any kind of "console" connection.
Doesn't pressing <CTRL-L> already work to manually trigger a screen
redraw in many instances, or am I mis-remembering?
Maybe just a wee hint about using ^L in one of the earlier messages
would suffice?
