What I really wanted to do is capturing the sysinstall screen images. (My goal is publishing "Install guide" WWW pages with these graphics.) I could do this by xv(l), kterm(1) and vga font came with pcemu(1); please see http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~ZW6T-KND/welcome.gif for an example, doesn't it seem good? I also captured all steps of sysinstall happily until it had stopped :-( Thank you again for hints. Then I'm going to try hack sysinstall. candy@fct.kgc.co.jp (Toshihiro Kanda)
