Hi,
I am a newbie trying to install the latest Ubuntu Desktop using the i386 alternate CD (i.e. text based installation) as I am using Virtual PC 2007.
However, I have one problem. I can't seem to change the VGA mode to 800x600x16 which I need as Virtual PC supports 16 but colour rather that 24 bit colour (set as the default). I know that on previous versions this was a setting under F4. I know there is a way of edting the command line for the boot up and I have tried a few things but none of them have worked.
Also, I tired searching this particular isue and there did not seem to be anything relevant to the installation in particular.
Any help/guidance would be great.
Cheers,
Jim
