"Unable to boot; kernel requires features not on your cpu: PAE".
I'm not a hardware specialist, but, could you provide some information on YOUR processor. As far as I know, ALL Intels since 1995 had PAE.
Could there be a BIOS option problem here? Or maybe a firmware problem?
Or, just maybe, Intel may NOT have included this is this run of Pentium M. You may want to check the Intel site or the PC's site for update to this OTB CPU feature.
Hope this helps
The processor is in my signature Dell laptop.
No! Not all intels had PAE.
Check number 41 in this list; check inspiron 8600 while you're at it.

The library libxcb-xlib is missing. Ayttm and Gtkam (and maybe other apps) need it.

So far Drake has been preforming very well and it's a pleasure to be able to configure 'most' features to work in it.
Just one more feature I would like to see would be able to get one of the newer Iron-13 or Chromium-15 browsers to work in drake.
Nice job BK! Keep on it!

In kickoff, there is twice the same savefile (choice 1, choice 2 while there is only one Savefile). first time that i see this.
