To which you replied, recovering it from your previous message:

I may be missing something but the link you provided [1] provides
instructions for making a 12.10 installation image so that for a clean
non-pae 12.10 install one can just use that CD.  My point was that I
understood that it is possible to perform an upgrade from 12.04 to
12.10 by fetching data from a 12.10 image rather than online (though I
have not confirmed that this is possible).  If that is correct then
could one perform the upgrade using the non-pae image rather than
doing it online, and hence upgrade directly to the non-pae kernel?
