I downloaded the current Live CD a week ago. It is based on Ubuntu. Sage runs perfect, but functionality beside this is limited.
I recently compiled Sage for Puppy Linux. This is a very small but very complete Linux Distribution. It has Office Applications, Webbrowser/emailclient, Geany-IDE, Multimediasupport and Lots of Utilities (e.g. Gparted). I try to proove that it makes a good base distro for big packages like sage. I have a prototype of a Sage Live CD working (692 MB). It includes Sage Sage documentation Latex (with Lyx editor) octave gnuplot jsmath fonts wine and all applications and programs of the standard Puppy Linux distribution. I think this could be a nice tool for education/teaching and generally help to distribute sage. Puppy Linux has despite the small size a very complete set off hardware drivers and easy to use setup and install utilities (e.g. install Sage Live CD to USB stick). Currently I try to figure out how sage uses Java and if it is possible to access this from outside of Sage. Same goes for the ipython environment. For a 700 MB CD I currently have 8 MB space left. I would also like to include some flashy Sage demos (possibly with good graphics). I could upload my prototype to a filehost, if you are interested in testing it? regards, emil On Feb 2, 2:31 am, calcp...@aol.com wrote: > I was about to download the latest SAGE live CD when I noticed that > there's only one version of the ISO.
