If you really need a light-weight and non-pae system, try the 9w installer and install a portable text-only system based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS mini.iso
http://phillw.net/isos/linux-tools/9w/Trusty-npae124-text.iso and add whatever packages you want and tweak it. This 9w (debian) installer can run in text mode and graphics mode. The installed Ubuntu system has only text mode. I suggest that you grow the partition and file system with gparted (while still running the 9w installer). Then after booting into the installed system, if you wish, install a desktop environment, lubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop or the minimal lubuntu-core or maybe only lxde or only openbox or fluxbox. Of course 'text only' or a window manager (for example openbox or fluxbox) or an ultra-light desktop environment (Lubuntu or Lubuntu Core) will suit best for old computers that need a non-pae kernel. And a non-pae kernel is not a good idea with more than 2 GB RAM. But this system with a non-pae kernel works in a wide range of computers. It may help to get or at least view some other files (for example the help file and md5sum file) from http://phillw.net/isos/linux-tools/9w/ See also this link (posts #88 and #89 and following) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...6#post12957586 -o- Otherwise zram and forcepae make standard Lubuntu available via the standard installers, where my special installers were useful in previous versions.
