1. There is no sage-4.2.1 yet for virtualbox. 2. You absolutely *can't* sage -upgrade from 4.2 to 4.2.1 in virtualbox. 3. I've mostly made a sage-4.2.1 for virtualbox (based on Ubuntu). Unfortunately, this is a surprisingly complicated process where a small error can mean having to start over so this isn't done yet. I had hoped to finish today, but ran out of time. HOpefully I'll be able to finish this by Saturday and upload a new version then. Sorry for the inconvenience. You can always just install any linux into virtualbox and install Sage into that, by the way. It's really easy to install ubuntu 9.10 http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download -- William -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
