So I have to re-install everything? &nbsp;Come on, isn't there some way to change the driver before login? &nbsp;In which case, what button or combination of buttons do I press and at what opportunity do I press them?

I installed fedora core 4. &nbsp;TWICE. &nbsp;A second time because, after start up, when asked to sign in in graphical mode, I got supersized text, a messed up display, and was not able to type in anything because of two reasons (1) Couldn't really make out inflated lettering (2) my keyboard/mouse input wouldn't be picked up. &nbsp;There was no color. &nbsp;It was MS DOS style except the letters were larger than they should be and couldn't be made out. &nbsp;Re-installing changed nothing, meaning: &nbsp;I startup and load linux but can't login. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Very frustrated, any help appreciated.<br />
