Luigi,

You can download Lubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot [1], upgrade all the
packages, and then hit 'Alt+F2' to open the run dialog and type
'update-manager -d -c' and it will let you upgrade to Precise. This is how
I got my Dell Latitude D505 with a non-pae Pentium M running Lubuntu
Precise.

At this point, based off of everyone's testing, this seems the safest
upgrade path for non-pae to Precise (the mini.iso seems to pose some
problem or another to everyone who uses it). Someone from the bug report
below has made a non-pae Ubuntu Precise LiveCD, and I think this will be
what is needed moving forward; if Canonical won't support non-pae
adequately, then the community will have to take up the slack :)

You can find the bug report for this at [2] and an Ubuntu Forums thread at
[3] and [4]. Testing and supporting non-pae is also an ongoing topic on
this lubuntu-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx list.
