I am stuck in my Scalix install. It checks for 512Mb memory. At some point I am suppose to get the extra memory, but for now I am stuck at 256Mb.
Is there some system value that I can set so that the installer is led to believe there is 512Mb of memory, so I can at least get this stuff installed?

And then there's the more BOFH answer....glom an extra stick of RAM from a user's machine long enough to get the install done and then put the memory back where you "borrowed" it from. 8-)

Oh, I am asking there. Here I am asking a more 'general' question.
How do apps determine the system memory, and can they be 'fooled' by changing some variable or other?

---- assuming that the memory it is looking for is not physical memory but rather 'total memory'...

And if the installer's just a shell script that's cat/grep-ing /proc/meminfo just hack the script around a bit.

I will have to play with this to understand it.
googling, I learn about cat /proc/meminfo
Where does it get total memory. If I can fool it, then I should be able to fool scalix's install.
