Hi,

just dragging through emails,

@Chis, are you okay to with our testers of non-pae chipsets to write up the
instructions onto a wiki are? If so, where do want on the 'tree'?

At the moment, I'd suggest under a 'clean' area on our Mini Iso area so it
can be simply renamed. But, you are the boss :)

Regards,

Phill.
