There may be a BIOS update available for your computer. If so, it may help
with detecting the full amount of RAM.

Failing that, a small modification to /etc/lilo.conf will allow you to
configure your system to recognise the full RAM. I don't believe that
there is anything that we can automate to correct that error - if the BIOS
doesn't provide the correct information, we're stuck with what we find.

There's a little problem to fix there. I think it is harmless, but in any
case you can correct it by running these commands:
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/ppp/pppoe.conf
touch /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/ppp/pppoe.conf/80ipparam
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save

That is not a problem with the e-smith server code, that is a change that
hasn't yet been made in the e-smith.com DNS information. Expect that to be
corrected in the morning.
