Hi again,

After replying I found that the 'last but one' iso file dated March 16 
was still not overwritten in my zsync directory, so I saved it

mv ToriOS-daily.iso.zs-old ToriOS-epsilon.iso

and used it for updating/upgrading. And this live system manages to 
install the PAE kernel :-)

Best regards
Nio
