Hello there,
I'm relative ly new to Linux.
I've got a PII machine with 384Mb ram. However I've read that Linux will
only see the first 64Mb, unless you put in a command in the lilo.conf file
such as

append="mem=384M"

I have done this (to the correct syntax) but in my system configuration it
stil sees only 64Mb of RAM

Is there any special place in the lilo.conf file I should put this line or
is there any other files I have to change

Thanks

Paul Ward
