right click anywhere on the screen (a menu should open) Go to: SYSTEM and then to CONTROL PANEL click on XVESA and choose a resolution of your liking... click on OK
done... (now you shoudl be able to view DSL better)

You don't need to type anything unless the default settings don't work for you. This is just a place to enter boot options (press F2 at this point to get a list). If you press Enter or just wait a few seconds the boot will continue.

I'm not sure what you mean, but it sounds like maybe you need to configure pppoe (System > Control Panel)And if you want to boot up with a lower resolution screen, you can either boot with this command:
dsl xsetup
and choose Xvesa and then pick your resolution.
or this command:
fb800x600
and you will be booted into an 800x600 framebuffer graphics mode.thanks friends for above tips still i am not able to connect to internet. i am able to get 800x600 res and all r visible nice i use realtek LAN card for my connection i have ip 217.217.122.7 255.255.248.0 def gateway 217.217.121.1 dns 202.56.230.5 alt dns 203.195.198.66
