I'm installing on a new machine. I much rather prefer doing it
remote, so I can compare side by side with my current machine. But the
terminal is badly scrambled. See attachment. Some Google hits
suggested checking that "TERM" and locale match on both machines. They
do match on my systems. What next?
Another item that may or may not be related... emerging Gentoo sources
did not create a symlink from "linux-5.10.27-gentoo" to "linux", so I
had to do it manually. I suppose I could've used "eselect kernel set 1"
instead.

Do you have the symlink USE flag set for gentoo-sources?

No... but I didn't set it in the past, and still got the link during
the install.

What terminal emulator are you using and what did you set the $TERM to?
Are you running any terminal multiplexer?

I use xterm on my desktop PC, and then...
export TERM="xterm"
I am not using "screen" or whatever.

Some more Google-searching suggested using "toe" to list off the TERM
types that are supported. Amongst them was "vt100", which brought back
memories of the 1990's <G>. So I...
* opened up an xterm, "su -", "cd /usr/src/linux", "make menuconfig"
* opened up another xterm window
* executed
export term="vt100"
* ssh'd into the install-in-progress (had to chroot again)
* "cd /usr/src/linux" and "make menuconfig"
Here's what my screen looks like (see attachment). The left side is
the machine I'm currently running on, and the right side is the
install-in-progress. It's barebones, but it works. And there's no way
I'll confuse my current desktop versus the install-in-progress <G>.
