I'm installing this on an ancient laptop, (tochiba satalite 200cds)
and I would like to get the resolution for the terminal right it's ok under x but not under the terminal(it's a weird display, don't realy know the resolution/ how do i find out/ set it for terminall)

type "dsl vga=788" at the boot: prompt

or add vga=788 to the kernel line for grub, or the append lin for lilo

thanks!
works like a charm
(i didn't know lilo though so I set it to grub, ther's no initrd (but that's ok i guess, since it works)
