Mark,

There are several ways to change screen colors but that assumes you can read the 
screen well enough to actually use the NitrOS-9. Reads like that is a Catch22 
situation for you. :(

So, you could create a new boot disk using the scripts on the disk to boot into 
a 40 column screen and if that is still not clear to a 32 column screen.
You could use xmode to change the parameters in /term and then cobbler the disk. 
To do that, you will need to understand how xmode works and which values to change.

Since you can't read your screen. I don't see how you can do either of the 
above. Looks like you will need to have someone on the list send you a revised disk.
Would you like me to send you one or do you want to try making changes yourself?
