Thanks - I set it to 127mb and that seems to have fixed it (though when
I modified lilo.conf, I upset the apm settings..)
I've not seen a clear explanation of how to use multiple 'append'
commands in lilo.conf. Eventually I put it in as below:
append="apm=on mem=127m"
That seems to have worked.. I guess the next step is an upgrade, though
I don't have a fast enough connection to attempt downloading it. Before
installing Patato, I tried installing Mandrake (had a recent copy from
a magazine). Xfree86 4.xx seems to work a good deal better with the
laptops graphic adaptor than 3.3.6 from Patato. I guess I'll have to do
a bit of hunting and see if I can get my hands on some cds.
Thanks for the help.
