32 MB minus memory used by kernel = 30236 available to other processes.

Rich, your worried about the missing 3 MB? I'm not sure why t
I supposedly have 32Mb ram, but free says 30236. Am I misinterpreting
something, or do I have a memory problem. (I only tried 'free' after
following this thread!)
TIA

Umm... NOTE HERE:
1KB == 2^10 bytes. that's 1,024. NOT 1,000.
1MB == 2^10 Kby
well, when i had 96 meg of ram, my bios was counting the extra to. so when
i added the 98 that the bios showed me, i ran into a boot error which
completly halts the system, this was on 1.3 btw :P
ide0: reset: success.

If I remember correctly, it's not boot failures one is to be worried about

Hi Mark,
You have to add a append line in lilo.conf.
Linux handle per default only 64 MB of Rams,
but if you add in the way like:
image=/vmlinuz
root=/dev/sda7 # where your root connect
append="mem=96M"# this is the p
erf sorry, append="mem=96M", tis been a while

if he's using lilo you've gotta add append MEM="96M" or whichever ammount
of mem is installed on your computer. Be sure to add the correct amount or
you're gonna get boot failures :P

Hi,
My friend's laptop has 96M of RAM installed. When it boots, it has a
message saying that 96M is installed and BIOS setup shows the same thing,
but when I run "free" under Debian it comes up with:
# free
total used free sharedbuffers cached
Mem: 63
