I KNOW my CPU doesn't support PAE, that's why I said: "... the CPU is non-PAE"
and yes it's a M series.
but it's ok, I can live with just staying on the current verion of the linux 
image/lubuntu. I understand it makes little sense in keeping up support for 
such old CPUs, they won't last much longer and there are other linux distros 
that still support the older machines.
I just think it would be good if istead of just showing a error, it could see 
that it's cause the CPU is non-PAE and say that to the user when they try to 
upgrade, and suggest either sticking to the current version or installing 
another recommended linux distro that still supports and plans to support 
non-PAE CPUs.
