Also note this: http://freshmeat.net/projects/syslinux/releases/282294
. It would automatically select the correct one for the syslinux
bootloader... I would guess that lilo and grub both have that ability
as well.

This is really important that I get this, whether it be an official
release, or otherwise I can build my own kernel. If you don't mind
telling me, how do I create the build environment? Do I download the
LFS files (I assume if that is the case, they contain make and a
compiler and all necessary libs?)

Anyways, I've asked the experts about PAE...
