Before changing lilo to reflect any memory config, in a terminal window,
type: cat /proc/meminfo
If the mem total indicates less RAM than you have installed, than you need
to edit lilo. If the mem total reflects the correct amount of memory, don't
touch anything.
If you do need to edit lilo, use your choice terminal editor, vi work fine.
The file is: /etc/lilo.conf
insert, at the very beginning, the following line, including the quotation
marks:
append="mem=128M"
Save the file, exit, and typr /sbin/lilo
You should see at least one line, possibly more:
Added linux*
Added failsafe
The asterisk indicates the default boot option.
Also, which programs are you referring to? Did you configure a swap
partition? How much video ram is there? What services are running (in
terminal type: top to view the system resource usage--it will tell you at
the top of the list which services are hogging memory and cpu time--there
are also GUI apps, but I use gnome, not KDE and don't what the heck it's
called for KDE).
