Damn Small Linux and an HP Pavillion 6735?
I started playing around with an old HP Pavilion 6735 and damn small linux. I tried to boot it up from the live CD as normal, it said “undefined mode number” so I just pressed space to skip, it started up but the graphics were all distorted and grainy.
Then I rebooted and used the boot cheat code: dsl 2
When it got to the terminal, I typed in: Xvesa -listmodes
The 2 best resolutions and color depths I got were: 800x600x16 and 1024x768x8
8 bit color depth is a little low, so I rebooted and used a cheatcode to boot it into 800x600x16. Everything went fine and the colors were perfect
My question is:
Is the reason the colors get distorted on default boot-up (1024x768x24) because my computer’s GPU can’t handle that resolution and color depth?
why doesn’t anyone answer when the question has to do with damn small linux?

Will Linux completely disregard NTFS file permissions?
I have quite a number of files on my hard drive from old Windows installations that I can’t seem to access. Some I can’t even delete and this is a major annoyance. If I boot into a Linux live CD will it ignore the NTFS permissions and let me do what I want with these files?
