@David,

I replaced all -pae packages. So, I guess I also got the kernel headers replaced.
Recompressing the initrd can save some bytes and save me from changing isolinux conf.

I tested multiple squash options but the best was the one that is in wiki (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization):

  sudo mksquashfs edit extract-cd/casper/filesystem.squashfs -b 1048576

The original ISO was very close to the 700MB CD limit. So, I tried hard to get, at least, the previous size.

I tested in a vbox machine and, as the kernel was always nonpae, during and after the installation, it considered it good to go (even running on a pae machine). You can test this way. After that I tested in a real machine but if you got some problem, it might appear even in pae processors.

BTW, bandwitdh limit of my dropbox is over again :-) It says it blocks for 3 days but it was back in less than that. Sorry, I'm a free dropbox user.
