Re: Increasing memory on RHEL AS

Effectively it may. But the software I try to install seems to think
different.

*** Most software programms check physical RAM and not virtual RAM and
then decide to proceed installation based upon this check. ***

That's why.

Hi,

If possible I'd like to increase the amount of memory my machine
physically has to a larger value without putting any new DIMMS in my
slots, so I'd like to offer some diskspace, just to make my box think
it has more RAM-memory. I do ofcourse realize this will be a great
performance penalty, but that will do for the time being.

Who can help me out ?

Is that what swap does? Why does that not suffice?
