Hello everyone,

I have a pII266 with tyan S1832DL motherboard,
no scsi, only ide  machine with mostly standard
settings. I put it together myself, so there shouldn't be
any surprises such as incompatibilities, yet...

When I installed freebsd 2.2.7-release directly from
a cd, I noticed that it only detects and uses 64 megs
of memory, though I have one 128Mb dimm..
I have researched the problem, but the only solution
I found was for linux, to put mem=128M in lilo file
so kernel uses all memory. What is the alternative
solution for freebsd? Sorry if the question was
answered already.

My other question is more of a comment, I don't
know if anything can be done about it, the installer
does not find a lot of ports, Qt-1.31, playmidi,
some pgp version and a lot of others, and that
is the CD from walnut creek, I was very surprised...

Of course after the install, KDE doesn't work
and some other binaries for X can not be found.

Is it something I did wrong in the installer or
is it a known problem?


Thanks a lot for your help,

Andriss
