hi!!

I have an old 486dx66 with 20mg of ram and 1.6GB of HD.

I'm trying to install DSL on it but i can't get to graphic mode. It goes always to text mode.

i think that my graphic card is a TRIDENT TVGA8900C. Is this card supported by DSL?

what should i do?

thanks

You might try some of the bootcodes vga=XXX.  If you already did a harddrive install you will need to modify your menu.lst file if using grub or lilo config file.  See the wiki:

Hopefully you made a swap partition too.
