I did fail to say that the LiveCD that I was speaking of is the
"Fedora Core 6 Zod LiveCD 1 iso image for i386" that I downloaded via
bittorrent from the
fedoraproject.org web site. So I have yet to get
Fedora running on this desktop.
I was hoping that I would be able to use a command line option to
force Fedora to use something other than the settings in the
Kickstart configuration files. But this appears to not be an option.
I guess this is one for the developers of the Zod LiveCD to work on.
Thanks for your help.

In the case of Kadischi, the resolution range is predefined using
Kickstart configuration files.
1) resolution= is an Anaconda parsed parameter.
2) vga= is a kernel parsed parameter.
3) You are not looking at "the installer" when you boot a LiveCD..
unless something has changed I am not aware of.
3a) ISOLINUX and GRUB are both bootloaders, but not installers.
My suggestion to you is to use a Kickstart configuration file using
a resolution and Hsync Vsync rates
which match your CRT or LCD.
If you are not meaning a LiveCD created by you with Kadischi, please
elaborate next time.
Hope this helps.
