This is great news, though I too wonder whether having to reboot and fiddling with things at a low level would worry some potential users (who would either be sysadmins who don't want to mess up their computers, or non-technical users who are worried about having to fix things if it breaks. Do you have any sense of whether this would work on a Windows which is installed already in a different partition? I have Mac, but can run Windows using Parallels; I'm not sure whether that would work out okay, though. - kcrisman -- 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
