Green screen as if monitor is not accepted

[Inge Vermonden]

Hi,

the issue I had is that I couldn't even go into Fedora.. so it didn
matter if I had then an environment that I could mount with.
I have installed Fedora 3 and this seems to work, so I will just stick
with 3 for now..

thank you very much though,
it brought me on the idea of just installing F3
