If you mean simply total RAM, then /proc/meminfo has all the info and more. If you mean the sizes of individual sticks of RAM, dmidecode (version 2) can tell you, but you'll need to fetch it into a %pre environment. If, and I haven't checked, /proc/meminfo is unavailable from some reason, dmesg output has it too: Memory: 253292k/262080k available (1175k kernel code, 6356k reserved, 986k data, 116k init, 0k highmem) Cheers, Phil
