Hi, thanks for the reply, it works now  :)  

I had to change the config file on my HD located in /mnt/hda2/etc/lilo.conf and there change the vga value to "vga=normal".
Then I ran "lilo" and it worked
:D

Phrozenfear:  DSL v.0.60 was the first version which allowed the hard disk install on my old laptop to memorise the parameters I had to set at live boot to make the display work properly.  In my case, 'fb800x600' at the boot prompt suited my 12.5" tft fine.  HD install is straightforward and so is LILO.  Rebooting off the new linux partition goes straight into correct 'fb' (live) video settings without any further editing LILO config. file and it stays that way.  (Press F2 on live boot prompt for 'fb---x---' line that might suit your display)

I had a problem with my screen only being 800x600.

I set DSL up but on booting its 1024x768 and so i couldnt see the login prompt

first make a backup of the lilo.cong

cp /etc/lilo.conf /etc/lilo.conf.bak

next you need to edit the lilo.cong

the very top line should read vga=XXX

for 800x600 16 bit change that line to read

vga=0x314

save that and reboot.

job done :)
