Re: major issues
His lack of an adequate description makes me doubt that this is the tutorial author's fault...
Re: major issues
This is not a tutorial.
Just my own standard way of installing PAE kernel.
use synaptic
search the kernel.. that ended with pae, and its associated headers.
mark them
click Apply
watch synaptic do its work.
and usually ended up OK.
this 9-yr old compaq desktop is running pae as below

Re: major issues
once you finish the update to UP3 the PAE-kernel is installed automatically, replacing the 486 that was default in the iso;
either you do the updates and get the new kernel, or... it's up to you.
