	Say, now I'm confused -- I don't have anything like this in *my* lilo.conf,
and my system seems to recognize its 128M of DIMMs just fine.  Is this
because I have a newer, DIMM-using system?  Or because I'm using RedHat 5.2?
Or am I just lucky?
	Or, is it possible that even though the system reports 128M of memory, that
only 64M is going to be available to some applications if I don't edit
lilo.conf?  ('top' reports 80M in use right now, so I doubt that...)
