Actually Stephen, (and anyone else using composite), you may want to download them again.

I should have realized that black text on white is much better for clarity.  I just changed the boot
loader for this and re-uploaded the disk images.

This is actually RF output here…

So anyone should be able to get ok results now…  :)

Sorry for not considering that earlier.
