Screen Resolution in Console Only (Cent 5)


Hello,

I installed Cent 5 without a gui. I have a 24" wide screen monitor. I don't like the default resolution. How do I increase it?

Thank you,

Mike Sims

I did find some other threads that kind of explain it ... the problem is ... I can't make it work so I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Unfortunately, I need a working example ... I'm kinda newbish like that.

Thank you,
