	I have news that may be relevant. After I wiped my refurbished 
IBM T42 Thinkpad with DBAN, I tried the live DVD+R for CentOS 6.0 that 
had worked on my old PC. It failed yet again -- but this time the error 
message is different.

	It says "This kernel requires the following features not present 
on the CPU: pae  Unable to boot -- please use a kernel appropriate for 
your CPU."

	I don't even know how to tell what kernel a prospective download 
has. I do know that some of my other PCs list kernels with and without 
"PAE" in the grub display.

I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
