Unhappy


I'm using Corel Linux 2nd Edition on a Toshiba Satellite S202 laptop I could really appreciate some help if somebody has a moment, thanks!

When I go to reboot into the installation then I make it into the place where you accept or do not accept the lisence agreement. Unfortunately, I cannot read the entire thing because it's only untilizing about the middle two-thirds of a 1024x768 screen, no matter what monitor I use!And the rest of the screen including the "I accept" buttons are outside of this two-thirds. I know this may sound elementary but I would so appreciate your help!!!! Thanks in advance!

Sincerely,
Jenny Lynne Meekhof

Have you tried using the <TAB> key to navigate through the buttons?

No I haven't tried <tab> but do you think it will work considering the fact that I cannot even see the buttons or radio buttons or whatever they are to know which one to press? Thanks so much!!!

Can you look through the Corel install docu for any hints on any startup options?

Can you change the behavior of you Toshiba at the BIOS level (helped with my Sattleite Pro) to 'expand or reduce' screen size.

It's a great idea! The only problem is that I've tried to get into the BIOS and can't figure it out, I know there's a way, I'll just have to look into it more. I also checked out Corel's documentation and couldn't find anything. By the way, I did try tabbing, but the next screen cane up the same way so I couldn't type in anything or know what I was supposed to be typing in.

I might give Linux Mandrake a try if Corel fails.

Thanks again!

Most Toshibas will give an error when you hold the escape key while cold booting. From there you hit F1 or F2(?).
