Hello, i have improved the live CD (Sage 4.6) with the feedback I got. There were the following changes:
1) Included JRE (Java), so 3d plotting works out of the box 2) Made boot option pfix=nocopy default, this means that it doesn't load completly to RAM by default. This behaves nice and I was able to run it smoothly in a 512 MB RAM virtual machine . Although there is a boot option to load completely to RAM - e.g. when you need a free CD drive. 3) Added support for "scratchfiles", Linux disk images which can live on NTFS partitions. Those are an option if there are worries to let Linux access the NTFS drive 4) other small fixes 5) improved the readme.txt and made some html pages for help (mainly about the various installation options, but this is open for improvement and extension) http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/emil/doc/html/en It is available (~630 MB) as: 1) sagelive-511-46.iso (ISO for burning a CD or to use it with Unetbootin or a virtual machine) 2) sagelive-511-46.exe (Windows exe installer, works on all versions except Windows 7-64 bit, but there is a manual fix) 3) sagelive-511-46.tar.gz (Archive which contains the 3 main files, for frugal installs and advanced installation options like manual USB installation) Download from (Decent speed, t < 15 min) www.mydrive.ch Username: downl...@sagelive Password: mathematics Well, let's say this is beta, so any feedback welcome emil -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
