install the memtest rpm package. If you are using lilo, you'll
find the memtest entry at lilo boot. select that entry and
you'll go in the memtest.
To build a bootable floppy with memtest, copy the memtest.bin
file you find in /boot to your floppy, using:
dd if=/boot/memtest.bin of=/dev/fd0
and then boot that floppy.
That's all.
