Problem Install LM 6 XFCE on AAO (solved)

[alfavictory]

Hi guys,

I have on my "beloved one" Linux Mint 6 Felicia (Gnome edition)
I like it, but I waiting for XFCE edition to install.
Live-USB works fine, when I press Install, here is become a trick...
Resolution of my screen 1024x600 and install window (probably) made for 1024x768...
so <back> <next> <cancel> bottons is somewhere below the screen
I have tried to change resolution (640x480 was the only option) make a borders for a workspace 150px on the bottom does not help at all...
Programmer (probably) make fixed window size more than 600px and I can't nor change it, no scroll it somehow!!!
Does anybody knows how I can fix it or install other way around?

Thanks

Update
As I saw Ubuntu installer they are always the same.
Buttons on the buttom (Quit)(Back)(Next) so I just count with "Tab" button to choose whatever I need
After install there is another surprise for me. Resolution is still the same XFCE don't know that I can probably install this OS to Acer Aspire One or other widescreen laptop. In resolution only 2 options (default) and (640x480)
Other thing is Wicd first look it's simple and clear utility, but.....
I give to ndiswrapper driver for a Wi-Fi card (Atheros AR5007EG) choose WPA-supliant:ndiswrapper in wicd
put WPA 1/2 passphrase press connect and........... nothing happend
Reboot, check once again. Ndis... see the driver. Wicd thru ndis... see the card. Passphrase correct. Connect... NOTHING!!! Not Connected!!!!!!!!!

I reinstall Linux Mint 6 back... Network manager forever!!!

PS ...still dreaming of XFCE

I love the XFCE edition, it's tops IMO. My daughter has an MSI Wind and that 1024x600 resolutions keeps her from running a lot of things! Mostly games she wants! So was it your wireless card that stopped you from the install, or the resolution. sorry if I didn't read it properly.

I think resolution more then Wi-Fi because to solve it I can deinstall wicd and install network manager. But what I cannot get is base distrib is Ubuntu 8.10 x-server is the same, here is the question WHY!!! gnome edition works fine (by default resolution 1024x600) and XFCE (by default 1024x768)???

Finally I get Mint XFCE 6.0 on my Acer Aspire One Laptop. I will tell you step by step how I fix both of my main problems:
Information inspired me I get here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne110L

1. Install ones again Linux Mint Felicia 6 XFCE CE
2. After reboot Alt+F2 ->xterm

Now 1024x600 is our default resolution
3. Wired connect to ADSL modem
4. Install new kernel

Code: Select all

 wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21808577/linux-image-2.6.28-6-generic_2.6.28-6.17_i386.deb
