I have just installed red hat 7.2, and when I turn on my laptop it asks me to choose which program to use. If I choose red hat immediately, everything is fine. If I dont choose the program within approx 15sec, the computer goes to some odd screen, and there is nothing I can do to get back to initial screen. I have to turn off, and on, to try again, quicker. Can I do something to prevent this from happening?

Also, all of my screen fonts are distorted. I tried to change font style, but all options seem to have same issue. What can I do to correct this?

Oh ya, one more. In my initial setup, I must have chosen wrong screen size. Thus, when I open a page, it does not properly fit the screen. Maybe this is why fonts are also distorted, hmm. How can I reconfigure to appropriate screen size?

Thank you,
Nawaz

what program do you run to organize the boot? lilo?

you should reconfigure your hardware settings like monitor frequencies an so on, too. you can do this using Xconfigurator or by editing /etc/X11/XF86Config or similar. run Xconfigurator from command line. don´t use X for this. cheers

j-ray, yes the boot operations are on lilo.

When you installed RH did it ask you what you wanted to boot in to (by default)? In Mandrake it gives me that option, and I can change it to default boot to whatever, XP, Linux, Default, Floppy... Depending on what my needs are. It was as simple as checking a box for me, I am sure that you have the same simplicity with RH. Good luck.

suse supplies a setup tool for that called yast. but i don´t know RH. probably you can edit the configuration file manually. might be in /etc/lilo.conf or similar
