Yes, this is correct:

You need either a tarball with several kernels or several tarballs.
Several kernels will probably make the tarball oversized for CD, but OK
for DVD and USB. Several tarballs means several iso files.


1. non-pae kernel version 3.2 (precise kernel)

Good for really old computers


2. pae kernel version 3.2 (precise kernel)

Good for most 32-bit systems (including Pentium M and Celeron M, if you
install fake-pae into the tarball). Can use more than 2 GB RAM much
better than non-pae. Example: In my Toshiba with Intel i5 the pae kernel
can use all 4 GB RAM (which is not the case with the non-pae kernel).


3. pae kernel version 3.13 (trusty kernel in 12.04.5 LTS)

Good for newer hardware, because the newer kernel brings newer drivers.
Example: In my Toshiba with Intel i5 the wifi works out of the box (it
finds wifi routers and shows them in nm-applet).

-o-

I think it is a good idea to upload more than one iso file and later on
also separate tarballs.

Best regards
Nio
