    Boot asks for screen resolution [number or space]

    Hi
    Every time I boot my HDD installled knoppix I have to select screen resolution or press space. Is there some configuration I can do to make this go away?

    Once you've booted log in as root, you'll need to edit /etc/lilo.conf change the line that says:

    vga=791

    so it is:

    vga=normal

    then save the file and rerun lilo like this:

    /sbin/lilo -v

    HTH
