I've read it somewhere in a doc but i can't find it now... How do you tell Linux that there's 425 meg of RAM? When the system boots up it shows this much but Mandrake 7.1 is telling me that i have 66 megs.

I think for your linux box to see all 425mgs you have to tell the kernal ...

try running the kernal config. see if that helps you out guy

good luck

I believe you have to add it to the Lilo.conf file, and then run LILO again. I'm not in front of my Linux box to give you particulars at the moment - look up the LILO info on linuxdocs.org

Add the line append="mem=xxxM" where xxx is the amount of memory in MB you have on the system to your lilo.conf file in the section where linux is set up. Then run lilo.
