Hi All,

I've set up a RH5.2 install on a i486 PC.

If I either specify vga=ask or vga=[mode] in /etc/lilo.conf I can select
an alternate video mode upon boot up. I'm using a 17" CRT & want to user
80x25 or better.

The problem. The video mode switches correctly but changes spontaneously
to another mode toward the end of the boot-up process.

Question 2) How can I TELNET as root to my linux host? I am prompted to
enter a login ID + password but am told that the password is incorrect;
which it can't be or I wouldn't be able to log in on a console.

Walter...
