Re: Linux won't work with RAM > 64 MB

[Mark Yobb <yobb@home.com>]

You can get Debian to use your 128M of memory by passing a command to
the kernel with your boot loader.  I use lilo and this is what I put in
my /etc/lilo.conf file

append="mem=80M"    

I put this right near the top of my lilo.conf file. You would have to
use something like this

append="mem=128M"

there are how to's regarding this topic.  You can do this with LOADLIN
too.  I hope you don't give up on Debian.  Once you get through the
initial bit you end up with a much more stable - robust system.  (Note
that I have use SUSE as well.  It is pretty good but . . . 

Anyway don't forget this is about fun also.  (Someone told me this a
while ago and it helped.) 

I hope this has helped.
