While what you said is true, you don't seem to have read > what you responded to. > Huh? IIRC it is the JRE that's being automatically installed, not the kernel. If the installer is any good, it should recognise that its dealing with a PAE kernel and install a 32 bit JRE. However, as the OP is actually using a 64bit kernel, not surprisingly, he got a 64 bit JRE installed. In any case, I was deliberately OTT because I was explaining to Sven that its perfectly possible to run a 32 bit OS on 64bit iron and not entirely stupid to do it either.
