Thanks for the reply. My basic problem was that I could not install the
system because of the resolution. I therefore could not do any tweaks
on an uninstalled system. My solution was to upgrade my video card.
This worked for me as I now get 1024 x 768. I installed the system and
all is well. Love this new version, best Linux experience so far.
Regards
Ed
