Rich, your worried about the missing 3 MB? I'm not sure why that happens
either.
It just so happens that I have 128MB... but lilo.conf wasn't altered with
the 'append="mem=128M"' line I'm supposed to have (that's all fixed now,
I just have to reboot). So I should currently have 64MB. free reports
only 63528, though (ie, 62MB) -- so I'm kinda curious about that 2 MB I'm
missing, myself.
I have no real clue (please fill me in), but it may be something like the
bios from some subsystem stays resident during boot, and in my case it
resides in the first 64MB.(???) In any case, I wouldn't be too concerned
about it, your ram is, basically, all there.
best regards,
Rob
