VGA Boot Codes- Help with live CD/DVD video resolutions

If you ever find yourself in with a live CD or DVD that doesn't default to the correct video mode, here is a handy cheat sheet of video modes to put into the boot parameters. For example, if you wish to have a 1024X768 resolution with 16 bit color, type vga=791 in addition to the regular boot parameters.

Enjoy!
