Funny you should mention the puppy linux version. I burned a few copies of that ISO today but none of them booted. The md5sum checked out right after downloading. Once in a while I may hit a bad CD or a bad burner, but I used burners that never failed before and 3 CDs in a row failing is not likely (maybe 1 in 100 or 1 in 200 is a linux coaster).

So, I tried version 4.4.1, based on slax, and it booted fine. However, now I have the problem I had with the 4.2 CD in reverse! I have dual nics (ethernet cards), so:

The SAGE liveCD 4.2, based on ubuntu, runs very nicely but only recognizes one of my ethernet cards, the public one - so, i can use Firefox to get on the internet and a SAGE server online. Without ssh on this CD, online is the only way my students can save their work. So, I don't understand why one would start a local SAGE sever from the CD and do work there with no way to print or save....

The SAGE liveCD 4.4.1, based on slax, has a nice KDE desktop with a lot of apps on it including a local SAGE server. Now, this CD boots up recognizing the other ethernet card, the private one, and includes ssh so I can save work on my sftp server in my office. However, I cannot surf the web or print (as the printer network is on the public nic).

Now what,
