Well, there is http://files.sagemath.org/win/README.txt , which (meanwhile I guess) just contains "For more informaion on how to setup and run the Sage Virtual Machine, please read http://wiki.sagemath.org/SageAppliance"; besides http://files.sagemath.org/win/README-virtualbox.txt , which is the same file (or an identical copy of the former). > The simplest solution is to delete the link from the documentation, > unless someone wants to create the file. As is, we could short-cut to the wiki page, which isn't directly linked to from the Installation Guide, at least not in that section. -leif > On Thursday, September 8, 2016 at 3:16:36 PM UTC-7, leif wrote: > > The link to README.txt ("Be sure to read the file ..."
