David:
I also tried the append="mem=192M" in lilo.conf and then lilo at the prompt,
didn't work. I also tried lilo -v (which was reported to work) but no such
luck.
On the other hand Mandrake 7.0 recognizes a video card that Windows 98
refuses to recognize so I guess the extra line at log in is worth it.
