I have 8Gig of RAM on a 32-bit-Ubuntu and I'd like to use it.
When I do a fresh install of 32bit-8.04 the machine uses all 8GB, so I assume the default 8.04-kernel is PAE-enabled per default. is this correct or did the install-tool check my amount of RAM and installed the PAE-kernel.
When I clone a 7.10-32bit-installation to my machine (I took the harddisk from another machine and put it in the 8GB-machine), only 4GB are handled and I wonder how to install a PAE-enabled kernel.
I dont want to compile the kernel by myself, cause on every new kernel-release I would need to do it again. And I've heard about using the server-kernel, but this doesnt sound to simple too, cause on every update synaptic will get the new desktop-kernel again.
thnx for any idea,
p
