If so, how do I activate it?
i'm not an expert in 2.4, but that is odd that only 896MB is used and it reccomends using a highmem kernel..for linux 2.2 the default is 1GB support, highmem is only used for 2GB(i have 1 machine that has 1.5GB). so I would suggest compiling it and turning on bigmem support, probably in the general setup menu of the kernel config. good luck! nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
