[linux-help] Re: Linux has errors on setup

["Jami" <pczone@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am using a box that I put together with Red hat 7.3 with an AMD XP 1700
(1,47 Gig processor)
The Linux Mem=64, and the Linux mem=128 I have no idea what that is, or how
to use it.  The one thing I know is that Linux is partioning this drive out
from c to i, and has made it almost impossible to access, with anything but
Linux.  Some of the partitions are no bigger then 1 meg
