When I try to enable the PAE switch in boot.ini
nothing happens. I save the file and reboot, then reboot the system again to install Lubuntu and it says that there isn't PAE enabled. To be more specific, I'm running it on a Dell Latitide D600 and editing boot.ini
through Windows XP SP3

3Enabling PAE in the Windows bootloader won't affect Linux... unless I'm missing something?– ChrisNDec 25, 2012 at 3:08

You enable PAE in Linux via the PAE kernel, or via BIOS, if such a setting exists. boot.ini
route affects only Windows XP, not other OS running outside it.

If I recall correctly, modern 32 bit versions of ubuntu come with the PAE kernel by default.– Journeyman Geek ♦Dec 25, 2012 at 7:20

@JourneymanGeek yeah, so do I, but mentioned it for sake of completeness– Sathyajith Bhat ♦Dec 25, 2012 at 7:20

So, if lubuntu says PAE is not enabled, and its a newer version, its quite likely the system itself not having it enabled– Journeyman Geek ♦Dec 25, 2012 at 7:22
