This problem is reported on the RedHat web site for the i810 Intel
chipset. Refer to http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/tips/i810.html.

Hi,
I am using
* Redhat 6.2
* Kernel 2.2.17
* AMD Athlon
* MS-6195 Motherboard.
* Sis6326 AGP card
* Kingston 128MB PC133Mhz RAM
When I boot my system. The BIOS shows the correct memory. When I see
the memory using top or cat /proc/meminfo then, it shows only 64 MB RAM.
I don't know why it shows so less memory
Please help,
Vivek

If you are planning to run X I would recommend 128Mb of ram I plugged 64
Megs in the machine and it was slow IMO then I put another 64MB of ram
and it greatly improved, I suggest u get some more ram..
In article 8uj10h$1vpbh$[EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED] says...
I run an AMD K6-2 400 with 60MB RAM, and 4MB shared RAM. With so little
resources, is it worth my while switching, as I've read that X-window app.s,
and window managers can be resource hogs. Is my system's performnce likely
to improve, suffer, or remain unchanged after a switch from Win98SE to MDK
7.2?

Can anyone point me to a walk-through that'll allow me to set up custom
Mime types? I'm looking, specifically for MP3 support under RH 6.2.
I understand the Mime Types configuration, but the program used for the
files is not in the list fo pre-defined applications. Is there a
(newbie) way to add apps?
It seems that it does not have support for thins pre-configured so
:)

Well I have been playing around with 7.2 for a few days now on a
macine similar to yours, and I think it is a shit distribution,
probably the worst I have used in 5 years of playing with Linux. I
have had no end of problems.

My Red Hat drive is on the secondary IDE controller set to slave. I
installed the secondary drive
after I had set up the primary drive with NT. Both drives are larger than
1024 cylinders. I'm not too sure what
I would do with 'lba32', I attach my lilo.conf file for your perusal.
