  You usually don't need to do anything. Just stick the RAM in and
  it'll find it. Once you boot with the new RAM, do "free -m" and see
  if it found it. If it did (most probably) cool...if it didn't, edit
  your lilo.conf and find the append line. If there's none, just add
  this anywhere before the first image section:

  append="mem=511"

  (always RAM -1 meg...some vidcards need that 1meg free to do voodoo
  and you can get in trouble if you don't free it). If you do have an
  append line already, just add the mem=511 somewhere between the ""
  order doesn't matter in there.
