Hi. I am using Mandrake 10. 1. I can not seem to change the screen resolution. I went to the control panel and reconfigured for a res of 640X800, with refresh rate of 60. Unfortunately, there's a little program called Screen Size and Rotate that starts automatically with KDE.

Hi everyone, I've found a Bios update at the Intel site which is a perfect match for my Dimension 4550, and I'm tempted to update it in hopes that it also provides boot-to-usb capability. The operation looks pretty straight forward.
