On some systems, the kernel does not necessarily see the full complement of memory. You sometimes have to pass a parameter to the kernel at boot time using "append=" and a ram parameter in your lilo.conf file. It's been a long time since I had a system where I had to append anything, so I'm a little fuzzy on what the actual parameter is...might be "mem", not "ram". -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org:2000 To be notified of updates to the web site, send a message to: site-update-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a message of: subscribe
