Hello Robert, If you have more than 1.5 GB RAM in your machine you could try a SAGE Live version I recently posted in the sage-edu channel. Download is here: http://www.filehosting.at/file/details/111993/SageLive_Full.iso
I solved the issues I had with the memory usage of this version. I might soon post a version which runs fine on 1 GB RAM (tested) and probably less (I think absolut Minimum is 512 MB RAM). regards emil On Feb 16, 3:01 am, Robert Veelenturf <robert.veelent...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Feb 14, 5:19 pm, "Dr. David Kirkby" <david.kir...@onetel.net> > wrote: > > > > > Robert Veelenturf wrote: > > > On Feb 12, 3:11 pm, David Kirkby <david.kir...@onetel.net> wrote: > > >> On 12 February 2010 18:12, Robert Veelenturf <veelentu...@asme.org> > > >> wrote: > > > >>> Hello, > > >>> I was unable to run the Live CD version of Sage (sage42lwlcd.iso, using > > >>> a > > >>> flash drive) on two different machines, one of them less than a year > > >>> old. > > >>> It has not been tested adequately or it has unusual and unspecified (as > > >>> far > > >>> as I can tell) hardware requirements. > > >>> Thanks > > >> PCs typically need changes in the bios to allow them to boot from flash > > >> drives. > > > >> Dave > > > > Yes, the OS booted and I was able to launch Sage, but the window > > > exited shortly thereafter. > > > > I was able to run Firefox. > > > > Bob > > > What processor does your PC have in it?
