[Bug 897786] Re: Kernel is dropping non-PAE flavour

[Shahar Or]

I've stumbled across the lack of a non-pae i386 kernel in quantal when
I've tried to use an IBM Thinkpad T42 laptop as a thin client for
quantal LTSP server.

Not being able to use that old laptop as a thin client would be a waste
of hardware. That particular laptop is worn out but other users have the
same model in good shape and it is otherwise capable of running quantal
reasonably.

There must be other systems without pae which otherwise are quite useful
to users today.

This is me complaining a little bit in the name of all those who still
don't know that they will not be able to upgrade their systems to
quantal.

Thanks and Blessings,
Shahar
