Hi, I tested the iso and it is very polished - good work! For all who - like me - don't burn many CD's here is a short guide how to start the Live CD iso file from hard disk. If your system has no GUI support for opening iso files, it can be done from commandline like this: mkdir isoimage mnt -t iso 9660 -o loop /path_to/Sage-5pre-a-x64.iso /path_to/isoimage then copy the folders /boot and /porteus from the iso image to the hard disk. ( I assume in / of sda1) add a Grub entry to menu.lst: Title test Porteus Sage Live CD root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz initrd /boot/initrd.xz cheers 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
