Summary

When running over a serial line we end up defaulting to 80x24, which is
rather cramped for many dialog boxes and occupies very little screen
space for most modern terminals. Thus, run resizewin -z to set the
terminal size if not already known before starting the installer, just
as we do for csh and sh login shells already in their default dotfiles.
