Installing Fedora on Dell Optiplex

[dballester at kernpharma.com]

Check BIOS

      In some cases default video RAM is set to 1Mb, take a look to this
value in your BIOS 'Integrated Devices' -> 'On board Video Buffer' if set
to 1 Mb Change it to 8Mb using arrow keys

Personalmente, mis problemas de suministro de software legal se limitan a
averiguar qué debo poner detrás de "apt-get install ..." omni en barrapunto

Que parte de /sbin/ifconfig eth0|grep 'inet'|awk -F' ' '{print $2}'|sed -e
s/addr:// no entiendes?

Hello all,
    I'm new to this list and hope somebody can help. I am trying to
set up a classroom network using K12LTSP, which is based on Fedora
Core (version1, I think). The host machine is a Dell Optiplex GX1 with
a 600 mhz P3, 256 meg RAM, 11 gig drive space, and a builtin video
controller with 8meg RAM. The monitor is a HP SVGA  capable of
1024x768.
    During installation, graphical mode would freeze up with a blank
screen. I did a text based install, but after installation the system
defaulted to graphic mode and froze up every time it booted. I booted
linux single and changed /etc/inittab to runlevel 3 so it boots to
text mode OK. I can't figure how to configure X so it will work in
graphics mode. Has anybody had a similar problem? Any suggestions are
appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave Prentice
