Actually thats not true at all. For example, I used to run SuSE 5.1 and had
to add the append statement into my lilo.conf to see >64M of ram. Btw, you
DON'T enable the OS/2 option, since that's specific to the OS/2 operating
system. ;) After upgrading to SuSE 5.3 > I didn't need the append option in
lilo.conf, nor RH 6.x or Mandrake 6.1. I upgraded the hardware recently to a
Asus MB, (last summer/fall) and still no problems. Sometimes, an older SCSI
card can do odd things also..., I can't recall exactly what it was, but it
had something to do the a 16MB memory limit with direct DMA. (?) This was
back in my OS/2 days. (good os btw)
