Installation of Corel Linux

["Alan White" <alanwhite@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had problems during instal because it did not seem to recognise my video
card - SIS 6326 W / 8mb.
 Most of the fields in the various screens during instalation were black -
no text at all. I managed to get Linux installed however by a bit of guess
work.
However most of the fields are still black in the windows page - ie Start
shows icons on the left but black fields next to them. I have no idea yet
what the icons mean so it is guess work again.
I do not see how I can  download the correct driver when I am unable to
setup my Internet Connection. Can I do it with Windows - Linux is on my
second hard drive (all by itself) but Windows does not see it !!.
Please tell me what to do?  The Console seems to be working OK but I have no
clue how to use it. I bought Linux to learn to use the Console !!.
Hoping you can come up with some assistance
