unless you have added an append in your boot manager (ie lilo or grub) then you can just stick in the new ram and start the box, nice and easy,,
if you have shared video memory and had appended the amount of ram (minus the vid ram) to lilo, then you just need to go to /etc/lilo.conf and look for lines like this: mem=248M and change that to whatever is applicable now. until now I have never had to do that. (tonight I am installing 8.1 powerpack onto an IBM netvista and it uses shared video ram, so I appended the line to the call to the kernel and off it went.) This is my second attempt thought, it stopped halfway thought the install last time for no apparent reason, (didn't lock up, just stopped.) rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Harold Hartley Sent: Friday, 28 December 2001 12:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] adding memory in mandrake I was wondering if adding more memory to linux mandrake is as simple as installing it and making a change in a file for it to reconize it.. I'm not sure which file it has to be to make mandrake see the added memory.. I hope someone can tell me as I want to put in 256 meg ram from 96 meg ram.. thanks Harold
