Hello !

I want to edit kernel sources so that I could set Linux to understand my
130 meg RAM , does anyone know where to edit.

Yup, I know that it is possible use LILO but I don't want to use it
because I do not use it.

Two suggestions here if anyone want's to hear.

I have seen in a few modern machines an option in BIOS setup, that BIOS
could use an another method of reporting amount of memory if operating
system is NT.

So if NT can use that option maybe Linux could too.

An another idea that I think is that if there were a common
settings file in kernel sources where I could set all the values I ever
wanted the kernel to know or LILO command line parameters.

Jari.
