- Oh my, I'm having the same problems with a 486 (ISA) with 24 MB
- installed running ISC 3.0. The ROM BIOS, Manifest, etc. recognize
- the full 24 MB but ISC only recognizes 16 MB.
-
- I see options under konfig:memory size for up to 64 MB but according
- to the documentation this only affects the size of various buffers,
- etc. and all available memory is used.
-
- I would like to understand the complications: can you/somebody supply
- details?
-
- Thanks,
