I have a Dell Dimension 8300 running Mandrake 9.2
Everything seems to be up and running just fine, however, I noticed today that the system monitor was only finding 882M of memory (I have 2GB)
Code:
$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 882 191 690 0 9 82
-/+ buffers/cache: 99 782
Swap: 494 0 494
I read some post that suggested I edit lilo.conf and add "mem=2048M" to the append section, but that seems to have had no effect.
Can anyone offer some guidance as to where I should go from here?
PS - here is the output of meminfo if it will help
Code:
# cat /proc/meminfo
