Hi again, I got curious and started testing. Bento Trusty NON PAE 1. runs live and can install into VirtualBox (without pae flag). The screen size is limited to 640x480 unless I activate GRUB_TERMINAL=console in /etc/default/grub and run sudo update-grub. I have only tested basic things, and they work. But wired network does not work. I can ping but web addresses cannot be resolved. Is this the known bug and is it independent of the non-pae kernel? I do not see this bug in Lubuntu 14.04 LTS with the non-pae kernel as installed via the OBI-9w. 2. runs live and can install into an IBM Thinkpad T42 with Pentium M, that lacks PAE flag, but has PAE capability. But it would be better to find a machine that truly lacks PAE capability. I have only tested basic things, and they work except wired network, which has the same problem with wired network as in VBox. 3. manages persistence, tested with Unetbootin and a casper-rw partition. I used a temporary boot option entered after hitting TAB to edit the line with boot options. Tested in an IBM Thinkpad T42 with Pentium M, and in a Toshiba Satellite Pro with Intel i5. -o- Congratulations to both of you Mélodie and Phill :-) Best regards Nio -- Lubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
