Because you will have more than 64Meg of RAM, you will need to add a line
to you /etc/lilo.conf file which reads something like append="mem=80M"
otherwise linux will not recognise your extra RAM (don't forget to run
lilo after making the changes).  Here is an extract from my lilo.conf to
illustrate the idea:

image=/z21114
        label=z21114
        root=/dev/hdb2
        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.0.34-0.6.img
        read-only
        append="mem=128M"

Other than that, it should work fine ;-)
