I have put together what I will refer to in the American vernacular as a "ghetto iMac"...

This is an eMachines eOne (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EOne) running Boxpup. It works quite nicely!

Another ten-year-old relic resurrected by Puppy!

SliTaz does this on this machine as well. It sounds like it is time to take this thing apart and see if there are any adjustable pots inside...

This happens in xvesa as well...

Here's my video dilemma... I have performed a frugal install of Boxpup 4.1.2 on an ancient eMachines eOne. This machine has a built-in 15-inch CRT monitor with no physical video adjustments possible. Running Xorg at 1024x768 through a built-in 8MB ATI Rage graphics chip. It's a Celeron 433 with 192M...

xvidtune doesn't change or move the display at all. I tried making it wider, narrower, and moving it left and right to no avail. Notrhing changes either when clicking Test or Write. I restarted X and nothing changed.

Here's my video dilemma... I have installed Boxpup 4.1.2 on an ancient eMachines eOne. This has a built-in 15-inch CRT monitor with no physical adjustments possible.

The puppy universal installer on the setup menu includes an experimental install option for memory sticks that will repartition the disk automatically. Some people have reported problems using unetbootin (and some have reported problems using the universal installer). Yep - the Universal Installer ...

UNetbootin is the hot ticket for this, IMHO:
