I want to thank everyone for there comments!
I have learned a few things from them.

I am trying to remember what really happened with the resolution.
I am not sure about the second half of the install if it was more than
800x600 or not.  But I do know that the login screen was way over 1024x768
and once I was logged in it didn't change.  Had nice little white box in the
middle of the screen and menus where kind of a guessing game.
