[ILUG] odd memory thing

[Paul Askins]

I had the very same problem with Mandrake 7, 256M down to 64M, bit of a
difference.  You need to edit /etc/lilo.conf and add the line 
        append="mem=192M"
Add this line just below the label=linux line (or whatever label is used to
boot linux.  Then type lilo to re-write to the boot sector.

 hello,
 i recently got a new big shiny g-way pc (don't laugh) with 192mb and installed
 mandrake 7.0.
 Everything went perfect in the install and the modem et al all work fine. 
 *BUT* when installing in, the setup asked me how much memory was installed,
 saying it could detect 64mb. I told it there was 192mb. Now when mandrake
 loads up, the console screen tells me there's 64mb. 
 
 is this a problem or just a typo?
