Hi cch and all, I made the SageLivePup08.iso which is currently offered as Live CD download from the official mirror. Unfortunatly I was not able to thoroughly test the last version by myself (I fixed some issues without beeing able to burn a CD). Since there were no open complaints in the meantime I guess it is working properly- However it is based on Sage 4.3.1 - I am not able to keep base with the sage development cycle because I have limited time budget. Since there are a lot of other applications in the Live CD (Lyx, Texmacs, Gnumerics, Octave, Abiword, Jsmathfonts, Browser etc.. ) Memory is very critical and I got everything into 699 MB of diskspace. However doing so it was necessary to pack all aplication in one big comressed sfs (squashed file saystem file). In principle it is possible to define different modules, lets say a module for sage etc. Disadvantage is that then compression is not efficient and the programms will need more overall space. I Maybe cch can also get an account on boxen math to upload his work there? If the Live CD version should be up to date with the latest sage release and he is willing to work on it based on slax this would be a better solution. I have more time in autumn and winter, but during spring and summer I am pretty occupied. Something on uploading with slow connections: I had problems with uploading over a shaky internet connection to boxen.math server. Tom Boothby helped me with suggesting the following method. I post the whole email exchange because it also has a funny(?) twist. ME: Hi Tom, I currently have slow internet connection (over satellite) with long ping (ca 900 ms). I try to upload a 700 MB file to e...@boxen.math... using scp, but I just get around 10 KB/s. Is there an other possibility to upload (maybe ftp?) kind regards emil TOM: Sorry, we can't do FTP because of security reasons. Are you on the moon? Perhaps you could diff your current version to the previous? ME: Not really on the moon, but on 2558 m altidude with no cable connection. Actually the moon would have ping well over 1 sec, since it is 380 000 km away :). upload stalled at 309 MB, connection reseted by bear. Never used diff, but my old version is not in my directory. Better to find an ftp server? TOM: Wow, where are you? How did a bear get in the way of your satellite connection -- or have you mistakenly hired one as a networking consultant? I think I have a solution. It might take some tinkering, but it'll git 'er done. First thing to do is to break the file into chunks: split -b 1M -a 3 foo.tar foo.tar. This will give you a sequence of files foo.tar.aaa foo.tar.aab ... foo.tar.zaa Then, use rsync to upload the files. rsync is like scp, but checks to see if files have already been sent. rsync foo.tar.* e...@boxen: Now, cat the files back together. Bash should do this intelligently: ssh e...@boxen "cat foo.tar.* > foo.tar; md5sum foo.tar" and if you get the same checksum as your local copy, clean up... ssh e...@boxen "rm foo.tar.*" otherwise, we'll have to force bash to take 'em in the right order, ssh e...@boxen "echo > foo.tar; for i in \`ls foo.tar.* | sort\`; do cat $i >> foo.tar; done; md5sum foo.tar" Good luck! Thanks for asking, this is a fun problem to work around! ME: Lol, Well the bear was actually a funny typo ( I typo a lot). Really it was: connection reseted by peer ... I'll try your workaround, else I upload to another server. I have a webserver which should do ... thx for help emil ME: Hi Tom, I followed your instructions and got success. I just needed to cat foor.tar:*, order was OK. needed me 24 h though. md5sum is OK many thanks emil TOM: Yay! kind regards emil PS: have to add that there is an existing dev module also for the current puppy Linux System Live CD, which can be downloaded http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/puppy-4.3.1/devx_431.sfs -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
