Framebuffer Booting Problems...I think

[Met @ Uber]

If I remember correctly from someone else's description somewhere, I'm
having frame buffer problems.  I'm trying to install Fedora on my Dell
Inspiron 8200 which has successfully run RedHat 8 and 9.  But when I
boot from the install CD my screen has funny lines drawn vertically all
across.  It looks like my computer is in jail.  I believe I have to pass
some sort of command into the boot sequence but I don't remember what or
when to do it, that will make everything run correctly.  

Related specs:
 - Dell Inspiron 8200
 - 64MB Nvidia Card
 - P4 2.0 Ghz

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
