I have been attempting to install Potato 2.2r3 from CD-ROMS onto my Dell 4100 pentium III with 32MB NVIDIA GeForce2 video card and 8 year old CrystalScan 1572 monitor. Using apt-get I intended to install X-windows packages with several window managers and gave best guesses for my monitor maximum resolution and refresh rates. Initial reboot found me in a command line charcter based environment. On my second boot up the screen shows only dots and dashes in black and white in what looks like peices of characters. Do I need to load specific drivers for the video card? Did I make bad guesses at monitor values? If so is there a way to correct this without reinitializing my partitions and reinstalling from scratch?
