Yes, I saw it when installing CentOS as well. I thought I had found a way 
around it with terminal emulator settings, but I couldn't find them quickly the 
last time I tried and just went ahead as is. For me, this was just a small part 
of the install until VNC fired up, and the VNC screens were just fine.

Once CentOS is installed, these characters pop up occasionally in man pages. 
Mildly annoying. I assumed that the problem might be due to code page 
strangeness between what I am using, and what Pasi Pirhonen used in building 
the distribution. I haven't had the time or inclination to follow up on this, 
though.

  <Tab>/<Alt-Tab> between elements  | <Space> selects | <F12> next screen

 

The screen is all messed up.

It seems like the only thing not messed up is the text. 

Has anyone seen this before?

 

I am installing this in Z/VM 5.2 guest on a Z800.

At least with CentOS, I got the OSA GIGE card working with LINUX.

 

Thanks
