I have read over all of the installation examples I can on the internet. I have followed a couple of them very closely(and reinstalled twice more). When Mandrake boots up it is in this tiny square. The funny thing is that I can play with the resolution and reclaim my whole screen, but when ever I re-boot I loose it again. Any more ideas?
