there is an easier way to do this.

Go to /bootlocal/grub and edit the file menu.lst

Move the right boot option to the top of the file, in your case, it should be the one with 1024X600 or 800x600. The first boot option is the default. Hope it helps. good luck.

There is no 1024x600 option under menu.lst.

1024x768 or 800x600 are the closest options, either looks awful.

Nothing there about 1024x600

Assume you are using the boot loader grub -- most people do. then you can specify the default resolution by change the file /boot/grub/menu.lst. For 1024X768, you should move the line " kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda3 vga=791..." to the top, for 800x600, you should move the line " kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda3 vga=788 .. " to the first line. Here is also the place if you want to change the boot options. For a toshib 300CT, i would think you may want to add noacpi, noapm, noscsi, nodma. I don't know if 300CT has usb port.

I have a 110CT with 16MB, so i also need to add mem=16M.

Hope it helps
