hi ghost,
to tell linux you have 999MB of ram, put the following in the "append" line
of your lilo.conf:
mem=999M
then run lilo, of course. :-) you can find this information and more in
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/memory.txt.
you can see how much memory linux sees by:
cat /proc/meminfo
i'm pretty sure that anything that reports memory stats uses the /proc
interface. any hardware related information that you possibly may want is
in /proc including interrupts, PCI devices, CPU information, memory usage,
etc.
my girlfriend and i just watched 'the island of dr. moreau' with marlon
brando and val kilmer. damn, is that a great movie!! i now understand the
joke on south park with the genetic engineer and his litle sidekick.. ;)
