Hi (my first post to a Lubuntu Maillinglist), I also had one minor problem with the PAE kernel. I'm running Lubuntu mainly in VMs (because it is faster than the heavier Ubuntu). When installing Lubuntu Precise in Virtualbox I had to turn on PAE support in the options (this was not a dealbreaker).
But, when installing Virtualbox Guest Additions in Lubuntu Precise, the headers of the PAE kernel where missing so that the Guest Additions could not be installed. I recommend to include the PAE kernel headers in the base install so that some non advanced users can also install the Guest Additions easily.
