File Server and Raid

[Gabriel Dragffy]

Hmm I didn't read in your post that the resolution was up the creek.
But that's a very good point, I have installed a server and set the res
to something like 1024x768 but when the system boots to the prompt only
half the screen is used. What's the fix for that then?
