Hi everybody,

I made an OBI tarball of Lubuntu Trusty Tahr with Phill's non-pae
kernel. I have tested it in two computers and at least the basic things
work, but of course I have not tested everything. One of the computers
was my IBM Thinkpad T42 with a Pentium M CPU without PAE, where it
showed that is runs without PAE (with 32 bits physical memory).

Trusty is updated/upgraded till today (Feb 23), and this upgrade broke
Firefox, but I don't think it is Phill's kernel's fault. So I installed
Midori to give you a chance to browse the internet.

Tarball name:   Ltrusty-npae-feb23.tar.xz
Kernel version: 3.13.2_3.13.2-1_i386

Location:

See the attached file for more details.

Tarball file name: Ltrusty-npae-feb23.tar.xz

And it is made from Lubuntu daily build of Trusty Tahr with Phill's non-pae kernel.

#####  Comment  ######################################################

32 bits physical memory indicates non-pae

This CPU indicates 36 bits physical memory when running a PAE kernel,
because it has PAE capability even if lacks PAE flag
