I am installing the OS on a Compaq 2500, with 5 "4.3 GiG HDD" = 320MG of RAM and dual processors. I'm not ready to tackle the SMP yet. I = am disappointed with the fact that BSD is only seeing 16MG of RAM. Is = there an easy way to adjust this setting? All the documentation I have = seen references MAXMEM. I was hoping there is a control file that could = be edited VS recompiling the Kernel. Thank you in advance for your assistance. If you have the time could you also point me in the direction for SMP? Thank you Chaz Goodsell ------=_NextPart_000_0026_01C035BA.2D240B60 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2614.3500" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hello,</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I am trying to fumble through my first = successful=20 install of FreeBSD 4.0.
