low graphics

How I manage...

in boot set up
press F3
and you will see table of screen resolutions and it's corresponding bits..
select the type of resolution that the system can handle and press enter
e.g.
789 = resolution is 24bit 800x600
dsl VGA=789


There is a new issue I am trying to check..
every time I change my VGA to 24bit
my mouse won't work.. my mouse only works on lower vga bit.
if there anyone of you who is trying to revive your pentium 1 personal computers.. DSL is really your friend, because of it's light weight operating system.. that's 50mb OS.. imagine..
built in firefox and card games..

your track pad will not work in 24bit but you can use USB mouse hehehehe got it work but I want to use the track pad.. still in the process....

+1 for Puppy with Swap partition so you won't run out of memory space.
