As with the Red Hat installation, this can be quickly fixed by editing /etc/lilo.conf to add an append section to the Linux partition entry: append="mem=xxxM" where xxx is the sum total of RAM available to the system in megabytes. A sample /etc/lilo.conf file follows: # begin global section boot=/dev/sda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=50 # begin Linux section image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.35 label=linux append="mem=160M" # allow access for greater than 64 MB RAM root=/dev/sda2 initrd=/boot/initrd.gz read-only Be sure to run /sbin/lilo after adding the append line, and reboot. You can determine if the larger amount of RAM was made available to the system typing free as root: [chstewart@tlaloc ~]# su Password: [root@tlaloc chstewart]# free total used free shared buffers cache Mem: 160116 119888 40228 33180 64772 34308 -/+ buffers/cache: 20808 139308 Swap: 130748 0 130748 [root@tlaloc chstewart]# exit Video Setup Finally, if an X-windows system is desired, Caldera includes both xf86config and XF86Setup to enable you to configure X windows. The video card parameters for each server are included in the Table 1, Compaq Hardware Basics, and summarized in section, Video Card. Setting up X with either of these programs is straightforward once the specific video parameters are known. In Compaq's testing, a Compaq 171FS monitor and the generic SVGA X-windows server were used. ECG513/0399
