 I hvve been bouncing around on Distros and pleased to mention that I had success on DLS ...except bad video
 video is bad = low contrast yellow and green, I can barely see the images but I can shut down (I found that by accident the first time i booted.)
 
 The Dell Latitude LM is a p133 40m ram 2 g drive and has a neoMagicGraph 128z has 40m on Linux boot the post screens show a vzv 40k vbe/2.0 Thats all gibberish to me but I hope some one with a little more experience and perhaps a similar machine will be  out here.
 
 On DSL boot disk from floppy; can't boot from CD, the scan command comes up each boot and returns nothing so I use 0. Since it's an old laptop I choose doubble buffering and have used 5 or 6 graphic depths and settings. 791 785 771 788
 I have not been able to get back to a useable screen since the first boot. Is there a safe mode or guaranteed setting?
 
 any suggestions are appreciated
