Sound advice notwithstanding, Kul, he most certainly *can* have 160MB or
RAM. It's quite a common configuration when people take machines with a
base configuration of 32 MB and add a 128 MB module. 128 + 32 = 160.
Also, I don't have my Cobalt piece in front of me (so I can't see the
GUI), but using top on my Caldera and RedHat systems both report memory
apart from swap, and indicate available, used, and free for both (plus
buffered and cached for real RAM). The screen he's looking at may or may
not count the swap space as part of his memory; can you *confirm* that
it does count the swap partition?
