Hi William, Thank you for your reply. I read mabshoff's link but it doesn't have any guidance for me. My machine with SAGE on it is dedicated to work and does not have any extraneous software on it. SAGE 2.8 worked fine doing much more memory intesive work than the problem that made it crash. It does not crash immediately so I might be able to make ubuntu.vmdk smaller. Would you please tell me the steps? I have only been using the notebook since upgrading from an earlier colinux version. Should I use notebook when I shink the file or should I do it from a SAGE command line?
