Thank you very much for the informaiton, I'll try it later.  Is there a
document which describes the numeric keys for the video modes?

I had tried the Knoppix CD distro first to see the compatibility of all my
equipment (need a Driver for my NIC) and everything worked fine so I was
surprised when the video didn't work during install.  Does the install CD
use an implementation of Xfree86?  Is it possible to issue some boot command
for which video mode to use at the boot prompt?

I didn't want to do a text mode install in case there may have been some
other issue with my video card etc which could have made it a useless
install.

Thanks again for your assistance.
