I was recomended opt try to install DSL on my old laptop, that i was given. I am tryignto load it and i can't see everything. I ahve booted ot the text mode to try and install, but i can't see everything. My resolution is 640x480, that is the laptop's max, i could try hookign up to a monitor, but that would be a hasle. Can i get it to display in the right resolution?

Try booting with:

dsl 2 vga=normal

and see if you can get to a command prompt.
