For us maybe a grub entry with parameter vga=ask is the best, so users could select their resolution. But IMHO we should "design" our bash dialogs in a way that they also be usable on a normal 80x25 console..

Yeah I agree we should design things to fit within 80 columns. I find longer lines are generally harder to read and edit than shorter lines as well.

The dialogs should also be resolution agnostic. And if the installer will be internationalized, dialog design will be trickier. A hard job indeed.
