No, I didn't see any way. That is frustrating, regarding GCC failing. I have been wondering whether we should start over and create a (fairly minimal) ubuntu 9.10 install using squashfs and unionfs? What do you think? There are a lot of good ideas in the approach of Puppy Linux... but that doesn't mean we actually have to use it in the long run. I wonder how big a minimal ubuntu 9.10 with Virtualbox Tools squashed would be? I'm guessing around 600MB compressed. That might be OK. I'm curious what your thoughts are. -- William > > On Fri, Oct 23, 2009 at 3:32 PM, William Stein wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Please try out >> >> >> http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/wstein/binaries/sage_vbox-4.1.2-v2.zip >> >> Let me know what happens.
