    I'm trying to run the OLPC live cd image under Parallels and am having problems with the screen size.

    OLPC is a Red Hat variant designed for MIT's One Laptop Per Child project to bring computing to children in developing countries.

    The cd image is at http://olpc.download.redhat.com/olpc/streams/sdk/build1/livecd/

    When run on a Dell notebook the screen size matches the native resolution of the display.

    When run under Parallels Desktop for Mac, the screen size is enormous and switching to full screen mode causes the monitor to put up invalid video mode messages.

    Is there any way to preset the virtual video adapter resolution in Parallels Desktop for Mac.

    I have tried booting natively in Bootcamp, by burning to a CD and holding down the alt key when booting up on my macbook. The screen size matched by display. I could not get in parallels. I have lowed the video memory, which gets closer native setting. Have you the network to work?
