Please create a release for non-pae CPUs

Bug Description

It is way premature to require pae hardware for 32-bit. If you are unwilling to create a boot CD that can deal with non-pae hardware, please make it clear and provide a way to continue with Ubuntu. This is a major obstacle for those running as new as we can afford "older" ThinkPads... Shame on you! This was a very "Gatesian" move.

Totally appropriate! Sorry for the level of "excitement" expressed, but it
was
a pain that was nicely overcome. Going the mini.iso route was pretty
painless.
Thank you for your efforts!
