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.

Sorry, it has indeed. @jrtc27 apologies for the oversight.
