I tried adding this to lilo.conf and rebooted
But when i type 'free', it still shows me the foll:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 64076 62780 1296 11768 1812 11728
-/+ buffers/cache: 49240 14836
Swap: 88316 28156 60160
This is the same as before I edited the /etc/lilo.conf file.
I have a total of 160M in the m/c, out of which 8M is shared with on-board
video card. = 152MB.
So, what do i fix this ?
Also, how do i check what sizes the partitions are ? And how do I
increase/change the partition size of say, the swap partition?
thanks in advance

Subject: Re: LILO question
It really has nothing to do with linux and all to do with your Bios. I have
two machines running. One recognizes the Ram one does not. Both run RH 6.0.
One has an older version of award Bios and the new is award but current
version of Bios. So in the lilo.conf file under /etc I simply add a line
that says:
append="mem=144M"
As my machine contains 144 megs rather than the 64 that Bios has reported to
the OS. I place this under the read-only statement.
Then rerun lilo or simply type lilo and reboot. Type free or do a top and
you should now see the memory that is really in place.
Hope this helps,
