Re: OBI 2.2 released - and Non PAE kernels

 

Hi Phill,

As the creator and maintainer of the (yet not fully finished) Bento Openbox Ubuntu Remix,
which will exist only in LTS versions, I am very much interested to also be
able to access to a non pae kernel, in order to provide the next version built on Trusty
with at least one version able to boot to old machines.

(I added a few words in the topic).

Best regards,
Mélodie
