Bug Description
hw: Dell Latitude P3 Laptop
After booting the install ISO CD image, after the GUI comes up, a configuration dialog starts where you are supposed to enter time zone and such.
On my laptop the buttons to be able to click to go to the next part of the screen were actually drawn off the bottom of my screen. I tried to "full scree" it - did not help. I tried to drag the window up, but could not drag it far enough since the drag bar was at the top of my screen. I tried to resize the dialog (make it smaller so I could drag the whole window up further) but it would not resize. I tried to change my screen resolution but the only choices offered were 640x480 and 800x600 - neither helped.
So basically, I got stuck.
Note: when I installed 6.1 on the same machine using the bootable ISO, it came up with a 1024x768 screen resoltuion.
So there are two or three problems ...
-7.04 should start in 1024x768
-that GUI should start in a window size that fits on the physical screen
-the GUI should be resizable
