Hi Mélodie.

I sent a text file with the mails to you. Use it as you wish, maybe make
it available as a reference.

What can I say about bug #930447? It is sad, that Ubuntu does not listen
to the opinion. It would be easy to 'allow' Pentium M and Celeron M
either all of them or those with CPU IDs that are tested and known to
have PAE capability.

cpuid is a small program that can be installed from the repositories,
and that can be used to extract information about the CPU hardware.

Best regards
Nio
