In this case X is not a problem, just the tty consoles. I can't get them to
fill the entire screen. I do get all 80x25, 80x34, or whatever resolution,

Do you have an IP number for the laptop? Your sysadmin should give/lend
you one, and also tell you what the values for "broadcast", "gateway"
are.

Thanks for the suggestions so far; running the install without
