RAM

[ColFlag]

Hey, I've roughly 164 meg of memory in my box, which is all recognized during the machine's POST. But, when I view utilization either with the 'free' command, or using one of the system apps in kde, it only shows 64meg total. What's going on?

Looks like you have an older version of Linux on your hands?
What you need to do is to add the following line in /etc/lilo.conf:

append="mem=164m"

Add that line after the 'read-only' line in the top part of lilo.conf, and don't forget to run '/sbin/lilo -v' after you have saved the changes. Then reboot, and all your memory should be recognized.

Cheers :)

Wonderful!! Worked like a charm. Thankyou!

One thing though... I'm running Suse 7.0 and Redhat 7.0 and both require the same entry in /lilo/conf--- how old is old?

Glad it worked fine :)
Hmmm .... those versions should be new enough, at least the RedHat 7.0.
It may be the LILO version, but I don't know for sure.
