Probably right. Again, I don't claim to be an expert at all, I just knew that I could at least help with this. It is possible you are quite right about the Cygwin overall, and I would be happy to forget about it. I'm just concerned for having secure one-click install on Windows without VM, which seems to add a couple layers of complexity (though Volker's work has been fantastic at simplifying it). > 1)There is the "AndLinux (Colinux) Option" > 2) the dual boot exe installer of the Live CD Yes, and I've tried to make as many people as possible aware of 2). It would be fantastic if one of those ended up being a long-term solution! Again, this is just my personal take - I can barely help with Cygwin, I definitely do not have the expertise to help with those issues (e.g., the possible partition problems). But if there are people who can help you with those, that would be wonderful. I'd be interested in hearing the opinion of those who spent time on the Cygwin port in the past, particularly w.r.t. the LiveCD installer and security/other issues. - kcrisman -- 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
