I have 128 megs of ram, no "mem=128" in lilo.conf but my kernel detects all.
My kernel is 2.0.36
How funny
Here is my cuestion:
What are cache and buffer memory?
What I have to do to empty them?, because when I finished using a big
program (such as netscape) I
have only 3% mem avaible, almost the rest is occupied by cache and buffer
mem
