ISTR there is an append command in one of the rc files which can be used to increase the memory above 64MB. I think = by default LINUX only uses the first 64MB. On Thu 30 Nov, ptaylor wrote:

To all:

I have installed 6.4 and recently updated it to 7 as a proxy server. When I installed the machine at school I am almost certain it had 128MB RAM but recently it has become very sluggish and I did a mem check and it now has 64MB. We have a network manager that is an ex-A level student and tech support is run by upper school students and things do tend to go walkies on occassion. Is there any record of what was the original machine specs when I loaded 6.4 several months ago? It is more for peace of mind than anything else. I assume there is a text file somewhere?

Unfortunately I don't have a SuSE distribution to hand so YMMV but try grep Memory /var/log/messages and depending on how large and old your messages file is you might get the output you need. -- Microsoft, the Team Rocket of the 21st Century. Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net
