I am downloading the non-pae .iso, mentioned in # 69, by luizluca, thanks to him for that :) Hope it works.

I want to react to this bug report, without having read all comments (sorry for that) to cast another vote for non pae kernels. My Toshiba A50 laptop has an Intel Pentium M 1.6GHz processor, and is still a very fine laptop, which it would be very much a pity to have to ditch.

I guess there must be quite a number of 32 bit i686 systems around in the world (also in less prosperous places) , that have less than 3 GiB RAM, and which do not need pae at all, which would also slow them down by up to 10%.
