However, you're dual booting into PCLinuxOS, Tex's Mandriva variant
which uses RPMs, not the Ubuntu based XFCE of Ubuntu 8.04, which PC/OS is.

I too was intrigued with the Distro listing on this OS that came up
this week.http://distrowatch.com/?newsid=05063The PC/OS Live CD however, came up with such small unreadable text on
the X bootup that I couldn't navigate the desktop. Anyone know bootup
parameters which will allow it to say, bootup in 1024 x 760 mode?

Perhaps the Linux Mint XFCE beta 025 is a better route to go with
similar characteristics as are claimed by PC/OS?
