     what memory are u trying to limit? and why?


I've read that it can be done by adding mem =

     if i am not wrong, we can give some options the kernel just
before bootup. That is we can give some 'variable= value' combination
in the text mode bootup. will that be helpful for ur problem. Please
let me know about this, or the solution that u get.

 Thanks in advance.
