Hey, I am really new to linux, and not wanting to partition my hardrive (I have a second 30gig wich I can use, but don't want to right now) so I downloaded knoppix, and knoppix std and they both work great! I have an LCD monitor, and the default resolution for knoppix is 1024x768 am I right? well, I need it to be 1280x1024, otherwise it looks like crap. How can I change the resolution?

I want to be able to go on the internet when using knoppix, wich program do I use to set up internet connections? I have cable, and I have a ethernet card.

I am not new to computers, just linux. Thanks in advance! :)

Welcome tsunamimedia,

While you wait for the real experts try the cheat codes
to set you screen and refresh. This is explained in
docs:
http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/CheatCodes

While operating, KDE will change resolutions by holding
CTRL and ALT toggle with numberpad + or -

Internet:
From the shell netcardconfig may do the trick.

K --> KNOPPIX -->Network/Inernet
has some options.

Best Wishes
