trying to boot LiveCD with x...

[gentoon00b96]

Hello,

I have been unsuccessful in getting my liveCD to boot properly on my computer (I keep getting a message saying that the settings are out of range when gnome tries to start). It will load fine, then just come to a blank screen and my monitor will pop up a window saying 'out of range.' I have been able to use Ctrl+alt+F1 to get to the command line, and have examined the config files checking my horizontal and veritcal refresh rates. I believe I need to change these in order to get my monitor to work. However I am unsure how to do this. So I have two questions:

(1)Is it possible to adjust the refresh rates and boot into gnome from the command line on the liveCD? I have done this many times on my system, but not from a liveCD.

(2)Would I be better suited to just installing via the command line? And if this should be the case, can I just boot the liveCD, wait until I get the 'out of range' message again, then Ctrl+alt+F1 to the command line and start installing? I am conscerned that the faulty monitor/gnome session may ruin my install attempts.

Thanks for any help, I appreciate it!
