Hi All ,
    I am running Redhat 7.3 on a Compaq with 1 GB RAM    2.4.18-10smp
I get the following message :
Use a HIGHMEM enabled kernel.
896MB LOWMEM available

I thought highmem enabled kernel was only required for =>4GB  RAM
Can anyone enlighten me on this .

Thanking You ,
                    Gary .
