Hi

I have used the DSL 3.4 install disk on my old lappy. It boots from the disk fine, showing lots of clear different coloured text against the black background while booting. However, when it actually launches DSL it is all a pale yellow against a pale green which means I cant actually read anything or do anything.

Any clues?

TIA

The first bit is DSL, too.

Sure, which cheatcodes/boot labels are you using?

Yeah, have you tried Xfbdev?
