Hello all, again thanks for the amount of replies.
Finally managed to get it going by creating a new entry in the lilo.conf,
labelled it 191, and put the "new" append line in.
It is now happily using the amount of memory it should use, so me is now a
happy chappy.
Thanks again for all the replies.
Regards
Fred de Klein

My lilo.conf has a line like
append="mem=191M otheroption=this"
and it works fine.
Dumb question, did you run lilo after copying the conf file???
