I don't know unfortunately about the large memory patch. Could you give me
more info about this? I don't do any of the messing around with linux on
our server. I let mudservices handle that. I would like to ask them about
the large memory patch, however. As for the kernel finding the memory,
yes, it seems to. When I did TOP, it found all 384 megs.
