This tester runs independently of any OS - it is run at computer boot-up, so that it can test *all* of your memory. You may want to look at `memtester', which allows testing your memory within Linux, but this one won't be able to test your whole RAM. . It can output a list of bad RAM regions usable by the BadRAM kernel patch, so that you can still use you old RAM with one or two bad bits. . This is the last DFSG-compliant version of this software, upstream has opted for a proprietary development model starting with 5.0. You may want to consider using memtest86+, which has been forked from an earlier version of memtest86, and provides a different set of features. It is available in the memtest86+ package. . A convenience script is also provided to make a grub-legacy-based floppy or image.
