No need to download anything.  Just recompile the kernel with high memory support included. http://www.digitalhermit.com/linux/kernel.html   >From: Ashley Reynolds <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: [newbie] Mandrak

For 8.1, you need to install the "enterprise" version of the kernel, which is compiled for more than 1 GB of ram. Not sure what the max on it is...I think it was well over 2 GB, though. Michael -- Michael Viron Registered Linux User #81978 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://findaschool.org/~mviron At 06

I remember something about 900MB being the limit unless you have the Enterprise edition of the kernal. It doesn't get upset it just ignores any memory past that. The advice was being given to skinky a frequent poster. Perhaps he (or others) can help. Michael [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Does

I may be wrong about this, but I think its possible to compile support for that much ram into the kernel, but its not done by default. > Does anyone know what the limit is for Mandrake's memory capacity. I > installed Mandrake 8.1 with 2GB of RAM, were doing a lot of compiling here > and it will

Does anyone know what the limit is for Mandrake's memory capacity. I installed Mandrake 8.1 with 2GB of RAM, were doing a lot of compiling here and it will only recognize 1GB! I was just curious on whether or not it would utilize that other 1GB of RAM. Bryce Johnson (RC)2 Technologies Group
