No there wasn't. Linux 2.0.3x and earlier (until 2.0.36) could not autodetect more than 64mb...but would happily use more memory if you told it how much you had. I had 1.2.x systems with 128mb. It does get tricky if you want to use more than around 900mb of memory with 2.0.3x, but even that is doable. ----don't waste your cpu, crack rc5...www.distributed.net team enzo--- Jon Lewis *[EMAIL PROTECTED]*| Spammers will be winnuked or System Administrator | nestea'd...whatever it takes Atlantic Net | to get the job done. _________http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key__________ - Linux SMP list: FIRST see FAQ at http://www.irisa.fr/prive/mentre/smp-faq/ To Unsubscribe: send "unsubscribe linux-smp" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
