Henry,

I subscribed you in hopes you'll read this. There should be three methods to install Ubuntu i386 with a non-pae kernel:

(1) Upgrade from Oneiric.

(2) Upgrade from Lucid.

(3) Install using the non-pae mini.iso:

http://www.us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/non-pae/

I've been testing and I can assure you that all three are possible, but we're still in Alpha stage so things are buggy. You'll notice that "eexpress" doesn't mention what failed in the Lucid -> Precise upgrade.

I'll be testing the Lucid -> Precise upgrade path in about one week, I do know there are a few problems, but some are getting fixed almost daily ............ really ;^)

And using the mini.iso is not bad at all.
