When booting I have to press zero for 80 x 25 line screen.  I'd like to have it do it automatically.

How?

Sorry, perhaps I did not make myself clear.  I don't want to have to
press zero or F2 or anything.  I want it to just boot without my intervention.

I already know what configuration I want.  Now I want the computer to know it as well!

What are you booting from? LiveCd, USB, Frugal HD install?

if you have it installed add the lines to grub or lilo in /boot/grub/menu.lst or /etc/lilo.conf
