log on as root and start "setup".
Select the Configure option.
Go through the sections as you please until you get to the part where
you have to configure LILO (adding the partitions etc.). There should be
an option for adding extra parameters. Select that and the extra
parameter is "MEM=<amount of physical RAM>M" without the " naturally and
I was wrong in that previous remark where I've listed the command as
ending with MB. Should be just M.
Set the rest of lilo up the way you want it and install the thing.
