Unhappy fedora on MS virtual server wont work...


it installs but when it restarts the screen is a big mangled mess... obviously a virtual video driver/monitor problem.

i leave the defaults of "unknown monitor" and 800x600 resolution.

can i fix this simply without reinstalling?
although ill settle for reinstalling if i have to, just tell me how to fix it during the install

thank you!

the problem is that i cant login at all... so i cant run the command. the screen is just a bunch of colored lines. is there a way to boot to the command prompt instead of the GUI without having to manually set the run level?
is there a key i can hold down while booting maybe?
