I have a Fujitsu Point 1600(166mhz, 96meg, 4.3gHD, USB port)
I've done an install to a IDE-CF card. System boots to GUI but the screen is larger than screen. Also, the touch screen is not working. This can be corrected if I could use the 'setserial' cmd, but it doesn't exist.?

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks

use a framebuffer cheatcode, or the appropriate vga=xxx cheatcode to force a video mode.

You can get setserial through apt:

Apps-->Tools-->Enable Apt
Then use apt-get to install setserial ("sudo apt-get install setserial").
