Linux Mint Forums

I thought about that but I am a linux newbie and didn't take any time to research 32bit vs 64bit. I thought there would be a memory limitation and I see that PAE will go up to 64gb. Is there anything special that needs to be done to enable PAE in 32bit?

I gave up on 14 and went back to 13 which installs and boots perfectly! I upgraded my kernel to 3.8, got skype, pidgin, vbox and Evolution all setup and wow I may never go back to a Windows host. I am impressed nice distro!!

The only way I can get the live CD to boot is to boot in compatibility mode. Then when I try to install it freezes at Configuring Hardware. Last thing in the /var/log/syslog is update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-17-generic I tried Mint Cinnamon 14 x64, Mint Mate 14 x64, Mint KDE 14 ...
