Getting mono::live running on VPC

I ran into some problems getting the mono::live boot cd running under VPC until I came across a blog post by Christoph Wille.

This is a nice writeup and addresses the problem quickly.

Steve, is this much different than the knoppix distribution (monoppix?) .. I've been playing aound with that in VPC, but can't seem to get the IDE to run in the correct resolution...

Same basic distribution from what I can see and it sounds like you're certainly having the same problem. Linux appears to be having a problem with detecting the appropriate settings for the virtual video card under VPC.

I believe the command line that Christoph notes should work... but I'm not sure of the details around the knoppix distro.
