Thanks a lot.
with regards to your problems of X coming back automatically even when you
kill it try this in your /etc/inittab file
# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
# 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
# 1 - Single user mode
# 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have
networking)
# 3 - Full multiuser mode
# 4 - unused
# 5 - X11
# 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#
id:3:initdefault:
by setting the default init level to 3

Hi Bill.
Your were totally right, I disabled the memory hole option on my bios,
rebooted, and linux was able to see the full amount of memory.
Thank you much
Alfredo
I wouldn't be so quick to say that the BIOS is seeing all 64 Meg
"correctly".
Check your BIOS settings and see if you have a setting that says
something along the lines of "Memory Hole enabled" or such...
it's only needed SOMETIMES in Dos and OS2. It should be turned
off or set as high as or higher than the available memory on the
system.
You should then be able to see all the memory, if that's the
problem.
HTH!

Subject: Linux-memory Help
Hi.
I have been trying to install linux 7.0 unsuccessfully. This is my problem:
I only had 16 meg of RAM on my system for windows, I removed all the
RAM modules and installed a new 64meg RAM module.
I tried installing linux, at the beginning the installation screen said that
I had low memory, so it turned swapping on immediately.
Linux installed ok except that it was awfully slow, then it started
Giving me a bunch of errors when trying to open any windows(i.e. terminal).
When I typed free, it said that only 13 megs total memory are recognized.
I was trying to change my lilo.conf file, but any attempt to open a window
Fails due to low memory. I tried ctr-alt-backspace to kill X, but it
Comes back immediately and won't let me go to text mode so I could
Change lilo.conf to add: append = "mem=64M"
How can I:
Stop X temporarily without it coming back immediately when I kill it.
Force linux to recognize my 64 megs at startup. (bios sees 64 megs ok)
Prevent X from starting automatically at startup.
Any hints will be appreciated.
