This should do something pretty close:

%% margins
\oddsidemargin  0.0in
\evensidemargin 0.0in
\textwidth  6.45in
\topmargin  0.0in
\headheight 0.0in
\headsep0.0in

Thanks.  Maybe we should get rid of dependence on fullpage.sty,
since probably there is an easy direct way to do about the same thing.

If anyone else comes across this problem and installing gs and
imagemagick does not solve it, I also had to install tetex-extra.


I realized when I was getting the error: fullpage.sty could not be
found.

Thanks,

To finish this thread: the problem with space on the disk was
different. I unpacked the tar on local PC and used scp -r to copy the
directory to the server. The symlinks were replaced by files and the
sage directory grew hugely.
Your post helped me to locate the error. Thank you

Robert

more preciselly, it is sufficient to install gs and imagemagick

thank you for your help

This looks like an earlier message: see the 4th message in the thread
 (or if the line breaks screw up the link,
search this group for "latex error slide").  The poster managed to fix
the problem, saying

> ok, it's working, I installed imagemagick, tex4ht, gv, gs (following

(The point in the March 12 thread (search sage-devel for "latex
notebook") was that dvipng needed to be installed, and installing some
subset of these packages was one way to do it.)

The sage-vmware image that we distribute which is an ubuntu install, sage,
latex, etc., takes only 2.3GB.   I am careful to replace the spkg files in
spkg/standard by empty files (with the same names), and make sure things
like /var/cache/apt/ aren't full of junk.

I don't install maxima into sage-vmware, since Sage already includes maxima.

It shouldn't be needed.

Thanks for the answer.
I have debian etch with 5G harddisk which seems to be minimal for
sage :(

FilesystemSize  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 4.6G  4.0G  360M  92% /

I installed maxima, maxima-shared,  texlive-base,  texlive-base,
texlive-pstricks,  texlive-latex,  texlive-latex-base,  texlive-latex-
recommended, fullpage.sty (probably from texlive-latex-extra, but I
installed just this one file to save space on my disk) and gnuplot

The TeX file alone compiles fine. The dvips also works as expected.
dvipng was missing in my installation, so I installed it just now.
Unfortunately I have a text accces only from my home and I will test
if this helps tomorow in my work.

beamer is not installed, but I hope that it will be not necessary for
%latex (not %slide)

Thank you for the answer, I will investigate your suggestions
