Description Pedro Castro 2005-02-20 15:20:17 UTC
Distribution: Gentoo Linux
Hardware Environment:
Problem Description:
Currently, the system can only use up to 896MB of RAM, but perhaps 1GB would
seem like a slightly more common limit nowadays.

Patch to use 1GB Low Memory

This patch is originaly from the ck-sources, and changed accordingly.
