Does anyone know if the Apple Color Plus 14'' Monitor is supported by YDL or if there is a list of supported monitors on the YDL site somewhere? Or better yet, has anyone seen a list of arguments that can be typed in at the Boot prompt during installation for the different makes of monotors out there?

Subj: Installing with an Apple Color Plus 14'' Monitor

I can't seem to get the YDL 2.3 installer to correctly display the old Apple Color Plus 14'' Monitor (ca 1994) that I am using. Is there anything that I can do to correct this? This is what happends:
I boot off the CD alright. I get as far as the prompt for "%booting:..." Then I have tried the GUI installer (pressing the RETURN key) and "install-text" but in each case the screen remains legible for only a couple seconds while it apears to be loading the kernel. But then suddenly the screen seems to brake-up into a dozen vertical lines and becomes uninteligable. I can still make out that the installer appears to be running but it is imposible to read what the screen says.
I have tried to find advice on the mailing lists ussing Google and I have reviewed the Realplayer video and the Install Guide but have not had any luck. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
