How can i list my linux partition's

[wendo]

How can i list what type of partitions and size of partitions linux is using i.e /root?

Also i want linux to use all my ram not just 64mb.

Any suggestions for the above would be helpful.

at a console/term, type
mount

that will list all MOUNTED partitions.

and for using all your RAM you should first try to boot with "linux mem=128M" at the LILO prompt. If it works, then add a line to /etc/lilo.conf that reads

append="mem=128M"

and rerun LILO.

I'm assuming you use LILO to boot here, if not then ask again, specifying which bootmanager you use, if any :-)

Just for info, you can use du and df to display the disk usage.

"man du" and "man df" for more details. :)

i have tryed the command /etc/lilo.conf as root and it comes back saying bash /etc/lilo.conf permission denined.

typing "cat /proc/partitions" will provide the information abt partitions.

/etc/lilo.conf isn't an executable.

The lilo executable is /usr/sbin/lilo on most Linux distros (probably all that include LILO)
