I am trying to folow the instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PAE but cant get it working. It says 'When the image of a keyboard and a little man in a circle appears, hit the tab key.' but I dont see the image of a keyboard or little man, it just goes stright into asking me to select language. Ive tried tapping tab during boot up but no joy;(.

My laptop is a Dell d600. I upgraded the ram to 1.25 Gbytes.
Here's how I installed Lubuntu:
- Boot from DVD Lubuntu 16.04 LTS
- Choose your language within 30 sec when it pop up.
- Highlight "install Lubuntu".
- Press F6.
- Press ESC.
(at bottom, a row appears, it says:
boot options: ........... quiet splash.) - Use the Backspace of your keyboard to erase "quiet splash" and type in "forcepae", then hit Enter.
Wait about 30 sec.
The screen turns to:Warning: forcing PAE in CPU flags.
Then the laptop starts the installation.

It doesn't work with the erase of "quiet splash"and write"forcepae" . solved PF6 and add after "quiet splash"space "forcepae" space-- and enter Ubuntu will be installed properly.
forcepae --forcepae
to be added.
