OK, I was trying out the liveCD and it seems like a nice way to have a Sage environment on the fly. It can set up a notebook() environment rather quickly.
I ran into a few problems: For example, I can use plot() without a problem. However, if I try plot3d() I get an error about needing to install java. I assume this is the JRE and that its needed to run jMol applets. Also, I tried tachyon() and I don't even get an error, tachyon() isn't even in the help system (plot? gives help, plot3d? gives help, tachyon? doesn't). I'm wondering if this is typical of version 3.1.1 in general, or are these problems inherent in the liveCD only, or am I doing something wrong? TIA, A.
