Back from Christmas celebration, I have run Joern's non-pae build of Lubuntu 13.10 live in an IBM Thinkpad T42 without a pae flag. The CPU is a Pentium M, so it is relevant for that catergory of CPUs (without a pae flag, but with pae capability). 1. It runs as it should (with zram etc, except that there is only the guest user, so I cannot run sudo). Anyway it is good as a test, that the kernel works without a pae flag :-) (I checked with md5sum that both of you Joern and Phill have uploaded the same version, the one I tested.) 2. Can *you* try to run it in a computer with a pre Pentium II CPU? (without PAE capability, so that fake-PAE won't help) 3. Is there some particular feature or program or task, that should be tested?
