<html> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Current situation is : Precise live ISO need a PAE system to run, and install a PAE kernel. Precise alternate ISO install a PAE kernel. People from 11.10 can still upgrade their system with a non-PAE kernel (non-PAE is available and supported). People who want to install a new precise system on a non-PAE system need to use the mini.iso, and use the linux-generic kernel when the installer ask for it. I just tried it, and it's pretty easy. A short documentation with some screenshots and a note on release notes should do the job IMO. Didi I miss something ?

I've been doing some studying and it looks like upgrades from Oneiric w/non-pae to Precise remain non-pae, and undoubtedly using the mini.iso will work, but I'd think both of those options would require fast ethernet. I also typically encounter problems using the mini.iso with my wired network, that's nothing new, I just end up having to connect the machine that's booting the mini.iso directly to my modem, which means all of my other machines have to be down while the net-install completes. BTW I'm talking about the non-pae mini.iso: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/">http://www.us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/</a> Anyway here at Launchpad: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/897786">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/897786</a> Stéphane Graber said, "I know some flavours of Ubuntu chose to ship with non-PAE by default, using one of these (probably xubuntu and lubuntu) would work too." So I wonder if we are in fact going to rebuild our iso's with the non-pae kernel? It would seem rather appropriate since our target audience is older, lower resource computers.
