Code:
default menu.c32
prompt 0
menu title UNetbootin
timeout 300
label unetbootindefault
menu label Default
kernel /ubnkern
append initrd=/ubninit file=/cdrom/preseed/custom.seed boot=casper text splash vga=791--
label ubnentry0
menu label BackTrack Text - Default Boot Text Mode
kernel /casper/vmlinuz
append initrd=/casper/initrd.gz xforcevesa noapic noapci nosplash irqpoll file=/cdrom/preseed/custom.seed boot=casper text splash removed this portion as well vga=791-- //went to edit this one
label ubnentry1
menu label BackTrack Stealth - No Networking enabled
kernel /casper/vmlinuz
append initrd=/casper/initrds.gz file=/cdrom/preseed/custom.seed boot=casper text splash staticip vga=791--

Ok how, tried the normal way, but 1024x768 is the highest. I guess I need to install the lates Intel@HD graphics driver from somewhere?

I have gotten grub to show and attempted to edit there but having failed a number of times I went to edit via config file on my windows desktop prior to loading on my laptop repeatedly.
I'd like to thank the both of you for assistance!

file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.gz
I am using a live cd. I don't get a grub to edit. If I press tab nothing happens. How do I enter the grub with the shown line above?
I have also opend the file in notepad file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed.
All I see is this: # Only install the standard system and language packs.
tasksel tasksel/first multiselect
d-i pkgsel/language-pack-patterns string
# No language support packages.
d-i pkgsel/install-language-support boolean false
I am lost :confused:
