Re: more than 64 megs ram?



hi ghost,

to tell linux you have 999MB of ram, put the following in the "append" line
of your lilo.conf:

	mem=999M

then run lilo, of course.  :-)   you can find this information and more in
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/memory.txt.

you can see how much memory linux sees by:

	cat /proc/meminfo

i'm pretty sure that anything that reports memory stats uses the /proc
interface.  any hardware related information that you possibly may want is
in /proc including interrupts, PCI devices, CPU information, memory usage,
etc.

my girlfriend and i just watched 'the island of dr. moreau' with marlon
brando and val kilmer.  damn, is that a great movie!!  i now understand the
joke on south park with the genetic engineer and his litle sidekick..  ;)
