->when I issue the command free it shows the memory as 63928KB but My RAM
->size is 256MB.How can I make my linux system to use the full RAM

       	 " Memory detection on 2.2.x (and earlier) kernels may detect
           incorrect amount of memory (more than 64M) on certain
           motherboards/BIOS.  One fix would be to edit /etc/lilo.conf and
           add 'append="mem=xxxM"' where xxx is the amount of memory, in
           megabytes.  Example: 'append="mem=128M"' for 128megs."


	In your particular case, you would add the line
		
			 append "mem=256M"

	to your /etc/lilo.conf

	-r
