You do mem=?? where ?? is the amount of RAM in your system. 96m, 128m, 256m, 1gb, whatever. You could also do mem=8m which would mean the system only uses the first 8 megs of RAM. Linus and others do this to test low memory situations. Just dont say mem=128m when you have 64m (or 8mb). Things get ugly then (-: -- Can't buy what I want because it's free. -- Pearl Jam
