Re: getting full usage of memory and disk

Don't know about your disk problem, but the memory problem is easily
remedied. Linux kernels older than 2.0.36 will not detect more RAM
than 64MB. You can tell the kernel how much you have though. Just
edit your /etc/lilo.conf and add the following line...

append="mem=128M"

under any kernel image listed which is not either 2.0.36 or 2.1.*.
Then type '/sbin/lilo' and reboot. Of course, this assumes you
use lilo. Another solution would be to compile a newer kernel.
