The command prompt is working fine but = does not do me anygood since I do not know any commands pass inputing my = password. I am using a Voodoo 5 5500 card with a standard Super VGA monitor = 1024x768. The best I can get is showing Half the screen, its like the = screen would need 4 17" monitors to see the whole thing. I figure this = is probably 640x480 mode. When I go back in and set it to 1024x768 it = will not even start. How do I configure this. Linux and windows runs = great on this computer, I'm just surprised that this 4.5 release does = not.
