memtest86 - 4.3.7-3 main

Memtest86 scans your RAM for errors.
.
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.
