If you remove the OS, you'll see all the RAM.

It's being nice. It's not showing you 20MB that it uses for other things. Yes, that's right, it needs a full 40MB to boot up and paint the today screen. You at least get to keep the other 26mb (well, 22 after you add anything to the today screen, and 18MB once it fills all the buffers it uses in the OS.)

You can't have it back. It's not missing. It's just misunderstood.
