thanks emil. i was able to change the base memory and i set up the system to start in sage shell. i get to the sage prompt after typing ./sage but i can't do any math stuff there. i get the following error.
WARNING! This shell install was built on a machine that supports instructions that are not available on this computer. Sage will likely fail with ILLEGAL INSTRUCTIONS errors! The following processor flags were on the build machine but are not on this computer. ssse3 So whats happening here ? help me also for this mailing list , can I set up the options so that I get the email notices for the replies to the threads started by me only ? thanks On Dec 6, 2:38 pm, emil <emil.widm...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I am trying to set up sage using vitualbox.
