hi, i have iBook 800MHz , 128 MB ram

i have just installed fresh copy of Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar all went well except i have now instead of 12 inch picture only a small in the middle of screen and i just can not adjust this anyhow i tried everything i new and now i am stuck. does anybody know how to resolve this problem? it looks like i do not have right drivers for graphic card but i do not even know what kind of card i have. to understand me properly i have only just started to know mac so i know basically nothing about it. please help me somebody with this issue and explain everything like to a little child thank you Jaro
 
Can you run software update? (Apple > Software update). If it's 10.2, updating it to 10.2.8 should fix the display drivers.
 
hi, i dont get it i tried everything i restarted this mac many times and no avail and now suddenly i started it with Ethernet cable plaged in and it started ok. i did not do anything and it ok now would it be that it updated it self while starting ? i just want to understand it cos i spend whole yesterday on it and nothing and now suddenly its ok. really weird what do you guys thing about that?
 
ok i just checked and its version 10.2.8 so its updated it self and all is fine now. would i also ask if i wanted to use this mac wirelessly can i do it or do i need some adapter for mac or some card to put in ? or have i got one in already ? thank you
 
Look from the Apple in upper left corner > about this mac > more info. That will take you to system profiler, and you'll be able to view your hardware from there.
Or in System Preferences > Network, if you see Airport card listed, then you do have wireless, if not there isn't a wireless card yet.
