Hi Aaron!
Edit the file "lilo.conf" in the /etc drawer and look for a line containing
"append", and change it to append="mem=192M". After that you have to execute

Linux will normally see 64M of ram; as yours sees only 16M I suspect

Ok, I have 192 mb of memory and my Mandrake install only sees/uses 16mb. I
