Changing text resolution in Fedora Core 1

In other distributions, I can modify the text resolution from the standard 80x25 to a framebuffer 1024x768 for my LCD monitor.

Doing a full install of Fedora Core 1 with Grub as a bootloader, what can I do to get full screen text at 1024x768?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Add "vga=791" to the grub/kernel arugments in /etc/grub.conf or check configure advanced bootloader options during the fedora installation.

I'm not sure if 791 is the correct number for 1204x768 but it's what I've always used :/
