Hi, I just solved this really irritating problem on my Laptop with fedora 10 installed. The 'free -m' command displayed that only 3GB of RAM was being recognized even though i had 4GB installed (which the BIOS confirmed) I went about searching the web for a solution.
I had two options: 1. To choose a 64-bit OS 2. To use Physical Address Extension (PAE) I chose the latter as I didn't want to download a full OS again.. :P Further, 64-bit OSs use more memory for a process than a 32-bit OS (sorry if I'm wrong. But this is what I was told.. ) So this is what a did.. In the terminal: sudo yum install linux-server sudo yum install linux-image-server sudo yum install linux-headers-server After a reboot, 'free-m' displayed 4 GB RAM.. If anyone can tell me more about these packages, it will be really helpful.. I'm not sure how these packages brought about the change.. -- Sin Cera, Bhargav Prasanna _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
