Don't see all the installer page

Hi everyone,
After I choose the language and keyboard, the display only shows part of the of the page. I can't see the information on the right side and bottom of the screen, (no Next button).
I tried vga=ask, and selected 80x50. Initially I see the change,(loading the kernel...), but then it goes back to the same as before with the installer.

What distro are you installing?

Hi burntfuse,
I'm trying to install Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4).
I guess the problem is with the resolution anaconda is using?
When it starts I get "Monitor unknown".

Have you tried a text based install?

No....but thinking about it. Was kinda hoping there was a simple fix for the installer.
Last time I installed FC4 I just kept hitting "Alt F12" in place of "Next"....it did install, but it hung during a file download off the Internet, and I lost it.
You know, nothing serious, just messin' around with Linux.
Bottom line is I have Ubuntu Breezy on hda1, and want to put FC4 on hdb1....and maybe Mandriva on hdb2....way over my head, but I'm SLOWY learning.
