Description:

All log messages, written to /dev/tty5 by quickinst/setup looks like they don't have carriage return symbols at the end (This only appears if there is no user logged into /dev/tty5).

To fix this you can use the following:

LOG=/dev/tty5
TTYPREFS=$(stty -F "$LOG" -g) # Backup settings

stty -F "$LOG" opost onlcr # after this all log messages will be fine formatted

# <INSTALLATION STEPS>

stty -F "$LOG" $TTYPREFS # Restore setting
This task depends upon

How about if we try logging to tty8 instead? No gettys or anything like that in the way.

both aif and archlinux-installer log to tty7 now (see http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/11515?project=6&status[0]= )
this should fix this issue, right?
