This is a slight problem, I might reconsider the standart "popping"
place of the notebook.
I will mention it prominently, that one has to wait for sage server to
start, and also wait at first start for the password creation.
But I think once it is accepted that it should work people will be
able to find those loggins.

I am a bit ashamed that I forgot that sage needs Java for 3d graphics.
I briefly considered
to include it by default, but than I decided to leave it out because
JRE is listed in the "quickpet" installer. The size would be no
problem because it takes ~35 MB in the compressed filesystem. This
should definitly be included in the next version (maybe even a full
java)

great, you managed it -
I didn't test the quickpet install,so I just now realised that jre is
broken there, I have to report upstream!
However there is a solution :D! I quickly made a package for the
latest Java runtime environment. This should work:
boxen.math.washington.edu/home/emil/sagelive/jre_1.6.0_22.pet
download and klick it to install.
Ok thanks very much for the feedback
Emil
