The AstLinux bootloader, ''runnix-0.4'' and earlier works with non-PAE hardware, AstLinux 1.2.10 and earlier. AstLinux 1.3 and later default to ''runnix-0.5'' which requires a CPU with PAE, but AstLinux 1.3 will also boot fine with ''runnix-0.4''. | The AstLinux bootloader, ''runnix-0.4'' and earlier works with non-PAE hardware, included with AstLinux 1.2.10 and earlier.
