I have installed 1.4.rc3

I was running it on a PIV machine with 40 GB hdd and 128 MB Ram with

/boot -100MB
/swap-640MB
/root-rest

I have kde3.1.1 and Gnome 2.2 installed

I want to increase the RAM to 512 now.

What do I need to do ? just plugin the extra work or I need to recompile my kernel

Pls help

If you upgrade to 1 GB later on, you should recompile the kernel to include
High Memory Support (set it to 4GB), if you don't, you can only use 960 megabytes
