Aaah, the old memory problems.

In /etc/lilo.conf, add

mem=160M

to the kernel options (after root=/dev/hdx et al)

save, and run lilo

reboot, and TADA, loadsa memory! (took me about 4 months to figure this when
I got 96Mb about 18months ago :-)

Hi,
During my easter vacation I decided it was time to bump up the
32Mb of ram with a 128Mb, giving a total of 160Mb
Unfortunantly Linux, does not seem to acknoledge that it is there:

foz@linux:/proc > free /t
             total       used       free     shared    buffers    cached
Mem:         63616      48656      14960      49860       2948     23056
-/+ buffers/cache:      22652      40964
Swap:        66492          0      66492
Total:      130108      48656      81452


foz@linux:/proc > cat meminfo
        total:    used:    free:  shared: buffers:  cached:

BigFree:          0 kB
SwapTotal:    66492 kB

Am I just reading the information incorrectly or is there a problem
here?

Thanks
