Provided the usb is big enough (you'd need at least 10-15 Gb extra for a complete installation of Sagemath), it should not be different to installing Sagemath on Linux. I wouldn't take anything smaller than a 64-Gb usb stick. An extra problem might arise as these distros tend to be aimed at old underpowered machines, thus being quite unusual Linux distributions. What does prevent you from making such a stick yourself? These Xtra-PC Linux sticks sell for 8-10 times the price of an emply usb stick. For that price you can buy a 256Gb SSD drive with an USB connector, which is almost as good as an internal drive in terms of speed and reliability. > > On Sunday, January 31, 2021 at 6:37:39 AM UTC-6 dim...@gmail.com wrote: >> >> On Sat, Jan 30, 2021 at 3:27 PM dan hayes <rdx...@gmail.com> wrote: >> > >> > what is all this talk about download binaries, usb key, iso and all that ? >> > what do i need to make a bootable usb with linux and sage complete and >> > NOTHIng else. what is the difference between binaries , key, iso and usb >> > key why do u not have just one file setup.exe? also i already have and am >> > using maxima on windows with many problems and would like to switch to >> > linux for efficiency but i have heard sage can also make use of some >> > things in maxima if not available in sage. >> > >> >> I suppose you can try https://www.sagemath.org/download-liveusb.html >> (that's a 2 years old Sage version, but OK for a try, I suppose) >> >> If you run Windows on a sufficiently powerful machine, with WSL, you may try >> running Sage in WSL (Ubuntu distributions there have Sage packages) >> >> >> > -- >> > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> > "sage-support" group. >> > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an >> > email to sage-support...@googlegroups.com. >> > To view this discussion on the web visit >> > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/sage-support/a82bb595-3f3d-4524-b6a1-61c245947186n%40googlegroups.com. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "sage-support" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/sage-support/1744aff4-9c62-4d4a-a168-aa50870fb4f8n%40googlegroups.com. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
