Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Alpha 1 PAE Kernel
You only need PAE on 3Gb+ RAM as stated. 32bit address registers can only hit ~3gb RAM so need special software to manage the memory addressing. This is what PAE does and allows up to 12Gb RAM for 32bit Linux. If you only have 1Gb RAM then weather or not the kernel has PAE or not will not affect you :) The minimal ISO will install the generic kernel only. I have not played with the latest maverick Lubuntu yet so cannot vouch for if it uses PAE or not.

I’ll have to have a look in the machine to see where the other 2.36GiB of RAM are hiding :D -- Steve Cook (Yorvyk) http://lubuntu.net ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Alpha 1 PAE Kernel
hi Steve, as of 10.04 "Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) Both the CD and DVD installer of Ubuntu 10.04 automatically installs the PAE enabled kernel if it detects more than 3 Gb of available memory. In the case of the liveCD, a working network connection is required, since the PAE enabled kernel packages are not present on the CD." I've just asked on #ubuntu+1 (22:50:28) phillw: hi folks, with 10.10 is the pae kernel for 32 bit going to be the default? (23:00:33) xx: phillw: It is already. (23:01:25) xx: phillw: provided you have 3GB+ of available memory, and a internet connection to download it automatically. I'm a bit busy at the moment, but I will test this out on my 1Gb laptop, hopefully others will be able to respond before I get it installed. Oh, and from having had a hunt around, it also seems that dropping i586 support is causing some ripples https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/+bug/587186 Regards, Phill.

[Lubuntu-desktop] Alpha 1 PAE Kernel
Got 10.10 installed and running and noticed that the 32 PAE kernel is installed as default.
