Introducing Non-PAE Home
I received a few requests to provide non-PAE kernels and I'm happy to announce that Linux-libre
they are now available. In case you don't know PAE is a feature where 32-bit
computers can access more than 4GB of memory. Most modern CPUs support this
GitWeb
but older computers don't necessarily do and are incompatible with PAE-enabled
kernels.
How To
Some GNU/Linux distributions have stopped providing non-PAE kernels, essentially
dropping support for those with these older computers. These people would typically Articles
need to compile their own custom kernels in order to disable PAE and potentially
make their own custom installation media. This at least helps with the first part of that. RSS Feed
I hope that this makes software freedom easier for those people by providing them
with a non-PAE version of Linux-libre.
About Me
To determine if your CPU supports PAE run this command and check if to see if PAE
is mentioned: Contact Me
