Up to 2.5.0 those have been not very essential to the normal SAGE user, but since libSingular failed to run correctly on SAGE despite lots of work put into it Cygwin support was dropped. SAGE under VMWare should run faster compared to Cygwin, the only disadvantage is a somewhat bigger download and also somewhat more of an effort to configure the networking via VWMare.

Ooops, color me red of face. The very slow time was for an install of SAGE under a VM module of Kubuntu that I had previously built. I just tried the SAGE VM module (not the latest) and it only took 50+ secs for the same image. I am still curious about Cygwin though...Dave On May 27, 8:43 am, davedo2 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > In the install doc for 2.4 it was mentioned that a Cygwin install for > windows was being developed, but it's not mentioned in the 2.5 doc. > I'm curious about relative performance of the two.
