Fully qualified question (if applicable):
	How do I get Linux to see all my RAM?  I've got 128MB and it only
	shows 64MB.

Answer:

Two things need to be set:

In your kernel, you must enable support for > 16MB RAM (defualt)

In your /etc/lilo.conf file place the line:

append="mem=128M"

Note the above example assumes 128MB RAM, change the number to reflect
your system.

An example lilo.conf would be:

boot = /dev/hda
timeout = 50
prompt
  vga = normal
  read-only
  append="mem=128M"
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.34-0.6
  label = linux
  root = /dev/hda2      

Of course after editing your lilo.conf file, you'll need to run /sbin/lilo
for the changes to take effect.

Also, if you ever boot off of a rescue type disk you'll want to pass the
argument mem=128M command in your boot line.
