*Tarball for the One Button Installer* There is a new experimental tarball of Lubuntu 13.10 with this non-pae kernel by hyperair. You are welcome to test it, but beware, it is an early version, and you can expect that there are some problems. As described yesterday, I cannot connect to wired internet (ethernet) in Toshiba laptops with Realtek ethernet chips. But many things work as they should.
