Have a x86 intel Pentium pro Celeron. also several garbage screens and garbage in the back next panels. Keep on redoing the enter blahh screens at great speed. One shows about 40 pixels high with various colours. OH yes, ctl-alt-backspace now does nothing at all Since autoinstall had 1024 x 864 before, sounds like the problem could be the Asrock spectrum7, for which it has five choices of spectrum 7 and cannot find which version is mine. See whether the bios has any info? Suppose we'll have to install again ! First try another reboot. REBOOT; the usual run thru jave 2.4.18-11 unclean shutdown before, hhmm only root get Konqueror, at least now a "command to get into shell". all the subscreens to use are too tall to click next, accept etc. Cconfig warns unstable at risk to use. Various things cannot access. logout on bottom panel only permits logout, so command sh-2.02b # typed in "exit" back to username password Tried "system", which permits shutdown. Took 5 runs. Sounds like yet another install. We'll have to see whether windows now is also in 800x 600. Woof. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
