Very nice pitti, thanks for the clarification. And thanks a lot for your effort in this bug.

Seems there is a request/RFC to add GNU screen support to debian-installer, so it can show the menu in multiple terminals [1] [2]. Would be a great addition to Ubuntu installer as well, specially since it would allow a fully functional console to be opened at same time installer is running, allowing quick debug features.

We will close this bugzilla/LP now, since it's not a bug. Also, added some documentation [3] about the issue in order to enlighten customers and everybody that might face this situation.

Thanks,

Guilherme
