Thanks to everyone who helped me out with this one.

I am able to use 1024x768 for RISC OS.... it's a standard AKF60 monitor.
Somebody has mentioned that I should copy the MDF from RISC OS, but I have
no idea where I should put it!

Are there plans to update this? I'm theoretically using RISC OS 3.6 and
it would be handy to be able to access my RiscBSD partition.

Thanks.

Using the "install" option from this seems to give exactly the same
menus as the original install program!

One problem I've found... if I choose option 8:Install distribution sets
and I type "x11base" then it first reinstalls the base set, then tries to
install the X11 set!

My solution was simply to type X11BASE in capitals - which fooled it!


Any idea why lines similar to the following keep appearing on my screen:

> pmap_enter: V0005b000 P1c741000 in pmap Vf1539884 prof=00000005, wired = 0

Is it debug code left in the 64MB kernel? Or should I be worried?
