You can also install a command-line system using the Xubuntu alternate CD, which gives a non-pae kernel. This doesn't need an internet connection, by the way.
Then reboot, login and enter the commands: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to give a standard Ubuntu install with non-pae kernel. This stage will need an internet connection (or access to an apt-cacher-ng server), of course. (I figure that there ought to be some way to use the Ubuntu alternate CD for this stage, but haven't worked that out yet. That would mean needing an internet connection only for the final updates, which might be useful for people whose connections are a bit uncertain or slow.) Though I haven't tried it, I assume that one could instead do: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/930447 Title: Unable to Install Ubuntu 12.04 on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to PAE kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/930447/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
