Hi Samuel, This sounds great. You are very welcome :-)
The boot option forcepae is available in Trusty (14.04 LTS) and Xenial (to become 16.04.LTS), but real non-pae is not available. On the other hand there are hardly any real non-pae computers left, so I think it is not a big issue. Forcepae works with Pentium M and Celeron M processors that have PAE capability but no PAE flag. With good documentation we can make it easy to use the scripts, and that would be a good way to distribute/install ToriOS.
