[sllug-members]: Xen Question

[Thomas S Hatch]

Wow, I don't think I have pae, I have a Pentium M, here are my flags (and no
pae flag!) I think it might be time for new hardware!

flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 mtrr pge mca cmov pat
clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss tm pbe up est tm2

Thanks, I will get this blasted Xen working sometime!
