Re: [sage-support] Re: Sage Live CD (Alternativ based on Puppy Linux)
Some other notices: I saved the Puppy files to HD D: A copy to a USB -stick renamed the files on D: because sometimes something goes wrong with shutting down and then starting Puppy from USB has changed (e.g. nearly all desktopitems have vanished) So saving sage worksheets and in case of emergency I have good Puppy files on D: copy again to USB and the damage is resolved.

Re: [sage-support] Re: Sage Live CD (Alternativ based on Puppy Linux)
Hi, I allowed to save pup-431.sfs as well as a pupsave*.2fs and now booting (just the default) works well and because I did in /etc/keyboard (or so) the US-keyboard, that is OK too now ;-) A problem is the WLAN , it sees it,seems to get an IP, but the encryption key (router says: WPA-PSK) and those other parameters as 'managed' 'open' (radio buttons) give too much possibilities I will try later again ... Otherwise It looks 'great' Indeed, easy access to the C: HD to exchange info ... nice. snip old question and answers Greets Peter -- 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 URL: http://www.sagemath.org

Re: [sage-support] Re: Sage Live CD (Alternativ based on Puppy Linux)
It works (this one: http://aghitza.org/misc/SageLivePupv02.iso on Vista) and seems to be very pretty for Windows users. But, at this moment I do not know enough about Puppy Linux ...it seems that one can save the state on a NTFS-drive ...(but yet very afraid to let it to be done) It started with a GERMAN keyboard, but I could be changed to US-keyboard (though I had to gamble, Puppy-newbie ;-) ). Without giving the option=RAM, it seamed to load and load and load, such that I stopped (ctrl-alt-del seemed to do that) ... and using F2 to see options ... A friend of mine is interested and this seems to be a perfect way for an XP-PC... Peter 2010/2/20 emil emil.widm...@gmail.com On Feb 20, 12:37 pm, Peter K.H.

Hi, 2010/2/20 PKHG pkhgrag...@gmail.com I tried a download ... but got only 359 MB? Trying to burn, complained about not correct lenght. So the dowload is 'wrong' I suppose Maybe share it at another 'host'? Greetings Peter Alex link (http://aghitza.org/misc/SageLivePupv02.iso) worked fine. Hello Peter, Thank's to Harald Schilly SageLivev02.ios is now mirrowed at the official Download servers! Link: http://www.sagemath.org/download-livecd.html However, I would be very happy about feedback concerning: * Bugs * Localisation (it should be asked at first boot, but it might not) * Hardware requirements (Processor, Memory - positiv and negativ experiances) * any Benchmarks * Is there something missing (i.e. the jsmath-fonts .. ) and generally * suggestions and feedback Thank you very much for this nice project; now it will be easier to impress friends at the university about the capabilities of both SAGE and Linux. I would like to share a couple of observations (of course these may have to do only with Puppy itself): 1- Loading to RAM took quite a while although my machine can be considered to be new. Maybe user can be urged to be patient. 2- SAGE worked without any problems. (Also, seeing LyX installed was a nice surprise!) 3- I was not able to switch on touchpad clicking. 4- I was not able to connect to WEP secured wireless through none of the connection wizards (there were two different). It seemed to get IP number but no connection was actually established (I'm not an expert by the way!). 5- The screen was dim and I couldn't figure out how to make it brighter.
