[NTLUG:Discuss] SuSE 8.2 startup screen resolution

[severian@pobox.com]

Thanks,
   It was in the grub configuration.  Specifically, /boot/grub/menu.lst
   There was a setting for the screen size, and I changed it to 640 x 480 
and it is fine now.  I could have probably used 800 x 600, but why bother.
Good day,
Ralph
