Hi again Israel,

I tried with a previous version of ToriOS-precise. The downloaded iso 
file is dated Nov 21 and I treated it with isohybrid (to boot a cloned 
image from USB). This file is dated Nov 22, and it can install the pae 
kernel, as you can see from the following terminal window dialogue:

delta-nov22-hybrid@torios ~ $ uname -a
Linux torios 3.2.0-101-generic-pae #141-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 10 22:11:18

delta-nov22-hybrid@torios ~ $ free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
