Thanks for taking a year or so to let me know. I understand you are overworked closing out trival bug reports. That you are able to finaly respond, is impressive.
Soon after I discovered 12.04 stopped supporting PAE, I found a build with non-PAE support. The 13 year old IBM laptop now uses 12.04 just fine. The CPU may be unsupported, but automatic update works fine. Thanks for continuing to support the un- supported CPU. Prior to 12.04, non-PAE CPU's were supported, so to me it makes little sense to suddenly stop this support. It probably is taking more effort to turn it off and deal with all the complaints, than it would to leave in the non-PAE support. Or does Ubuntu help hardware vendors force customers to upgrade CPUs? FWIW, from talking with other Ubuntu users, they too would like to see an error message when attempting to install a PAE only distribution on a non-PAE machine.
