As you know, the installation procedure for Debian on the s390 and s390x architectures involves using the Integrated System Console (or the virtual 3215 console in a virtual machine under z/VM) to get the network device configured, then logging in as "installer" using a remote SSH client to finish the rest of the installation. I have learned from experience that when my remote SSH client is PuTTY running under Windows, I can get the box-drawing characters in the Debian installer to look right by selecting "UTF-8" as the character set in the PuTTY configuration. If I use Lat-1, or some other character set, the box-drawing characters don't look right.
Recently, however, I tried a Debian install for s390x (wheezy) using the Linux SSH client running under Linux on an Intel box instead of PuTTY running under Windows. (Debian package openssh-client, command ssh.) I used a virtual terminal, vt2 in this case, rather than an xterm window or something similar (i.e. gnome-terminal). I can connect just fine, but the box-drawing characters don't look right. I can't find any way to configure the Linux ssh client to make the box-drawing characters display properly. How do I get the Linux ssh client to work with the Debian installer to get the box-drawing characters to look right? Or must I use Windows to install Debian? -- .''`.
