| 366631 | 2005-07-18 08:47:00 | Hello again. After identifying the video graphics card as i810, I was faced with this screen (sal.neoburn.net) (Appologies to folks who have to squint their eyes to view the screenshot), to which I entered "Intel Integrated Graphics 2". Pressing the key "Enter" brought me to this screen (sal.neoburn.net(1).jpg) . Since my computer has only 1 CRT monitor and no additional display device, I left the box empty and proceed on (sal.neoburn.net(2).jpg) . It then ask me to input the amount of RAM that my graphics card uses, which I have no idea about (I checked it via Windows later on, it says 96MB) and entered instead 128000 KB (sal.neoburn.net(3).jpg) (Does this really matter?). Next, it asked me for the type of keyboard I am using, I just leave it as xfree86 (sal.neoburn.net(11).jpg) (The computer automatically filled in the box). After pressing "enter", I was faced with a new screen (sal.neoburn.net(5).jpg) . I then pressed "Enter" and another screen appeared (sal.neoburn.net(6).jpg) . Since my keyboard is just a typical Dell keyboard, I leave it as "pc101". "Enter" again, and this screen showed (sal.neoburn.net(7).jpg). I identify it as "us" model (sal.neoburn.net(8).jpg). Should I change it to "NZ"? My dad bought this Dell Dimension 4600 computer from Malaysia, however. What stopped me from proceeding on is this screen (sal.neoburn.net(10).jpg) and this (sal.neoburn.net(11).jpg) . After pressing "Enter" to a screen which I hardly understand, I was faced with this (sal.neoburn.net(12).jpg) . My mouse is a PS/2 mouse, which option should I select? Thanks for your time! Cheers :) |

I then pressed "Enter" and........I'm surprised at the PC101 choice! Most modern keyboards are "pc104" and have a "logo" key that has the M$windows logo thing printed on it...... At least i assume thats what they mean by "PC104" Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....... *wonders about the possibility of getting a keyboard with Tux on the logo keys :D* |
