well, I also have EEE 901 and it's not that hard after all to install build-essential tools, you can follow that simple how-to: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/howto:installingdevelopmenttools - there are also other tips: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/#sources_for_software not mentioning that http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ is really good source of information about your eee... also - in all this they say "add debian repository"... the problem is most repos today are updated and not binary compatible - I find http://mirrors.uol.com.br/pub/debian/pool/main/ really good, binary compatible repo with EeeOS 1.6 (I'm 99.999% sure that the version you have also, or something like 1.6.1 or so, depending when your machine went out from factory). Good luck :) cheers, Andrzej. ps.: watch out on temperature during build of sage, it takes quite some time on this little machine even in "super performance" mode, after all it's just 1.6GHz then... it have sensor you just have to modprobe it, look for temperature on wiki linked above and monitor it from time to time... iirc it's not good for it to go over 80 C-degrees and dangerous above 90 (was it 92 that Intel put in specification? maybe cpu will deal with it, but I would worry about plastic case :P), while I try to keep it under 70 in stress by taking it outside for some small while if you are lucky enough to have low temperature outside :) oh - and if you run out of space so you cannot install build-essential and don't want to remove unionfs, you can merge those two partitions and get space back and ability to restore to not factory default but to latests your own working version with all software installed, it includes a bit of playing with rescue mode and rsync, but is doable - but let's not spam this list with EEE related things, you can ask for details there: http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?id=20081217023828534&board_id=20&model=Eee%20PC%20901/Linux&SLanguage=en-us - where I asked about this and finally found solution after some time of looking around :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
