| Win2000 PRO - cmd.exe available memory very low |

WIN 2000 PRO.
When working in the 32 bit CMD.EXE console a call to MEM shows only 15 meg of XMS available. The same is true for 16 bit COMMAND.EXE. There is a total of 256 meg (physical) installed. Task Manager reports 113 meg available (physical).
I don't know if its significant but this drive (80 gig)
is a dual boot with the second partition loaded with
Linux (Xandros).
I tried using a .PIF file for specific 16 bit progs in COMMAND.EXE but the pull-down menu goes only as far as
what is reported by MEM.EXE.
This is the system :
Mainboard : Asus A7V-ML
Chipset : VIA KT133
Processor : AMD Athlon @ 1300 MHz
Physical Memory : 256 MB (2 x 128 SDRAM )
Video Card : S3 Inc 86C375 ViRGE/DX, 86C385 ViRGE/GX
Hard Disk : SAMSUNG (80 GB)
Hard Disk : WDC (80 GB)
CD-Rom Drive : ATAPI CD-R/RW 8X4X32
Monitor Type : Envision EN-5100e - 15 inchs
Network Card : 3COM Corp, Networking Division 3C905-TX Fast Etherlink 10/100
Network Card : Realtek Semiconductor RT8139 (A/B/C/810x/813x/C+) Fast Ethernet Adapter
Operating System : Microsoft Windows 2000 Professionnal 5.00.2195 Service Pack 4

Thanks in advance for any attention to this problem.
