mini.iso, pae version, booted O.K. on my IBM Thinkpad T40 which does not have the pae flag. To do this, I added the following to the file /etc/grub.d/40_custom being careful to leave what was already in the file
menuentry "pangolin mini" {
set isofile="/boot/iso/minipae.iso"
loopback loop (hd0,1)$isofile
linux (loop)/linux boot=/ iso-scan/filename=$isofile noprompt noeject
initrd (loop)/initrd.gz
}
As you see above, I have the .iso in a folder /boot/iso. Your option. sudo update-grub and reboot the mini.
mini booted O.K. directly from the hard drive, no problem with the missing flag.
As it installed, messages were 3.2.0-15-generic-pae however after booting it up O.K. the boot and /proc/version is 3.2.0.15-generic which is running fine.
Well, I'm used to a whole lubuntu (or unity) setup so there's a lot missing.
What's running on the T40 now is (Lucid Lynx of course), three precise pangolins:
One updated from Oneiric, non-pae
One new install from 20120207 which is generic-pae not supposed to run but does. My opinion, the test for the flag is missing/doesn't work so it goes on and boots and runs O.K.
One mini install from the pae mini but did result in non-pae generic. A whole lot of accesories & tools missing but did just get synaptic and even firefox up and running.
Oh, they're all lubuntu's. I've got unity on other test pc's.
