Install Ubuntu 7 on a 800X600 Screen

Trying to install Ubuntu on a new Dell Dimension today I found 1024x768 isn’t available. This makes it impossible to unstall Ubuntu 7 because the installer window is larger than the viewable space. The next buttons aren’t visible.

Changing font size didn’t work.

Rebooting with the monitor disconnected didn’t work.

My co-worker Pierre clued me in to the answer: hold down alt and drag the installer window with the mouse so the buttons become visible.
