Compiling Sage on another box and then providing a eee specific binary shouldn't be much trouble. We can strip down Sage to about 0.5GB installed, but then you can no longer develop with it. Aside from that konqueror is going to be a problem since there are currently known issues with 3.0+ IIRC. > Any suggestions as to how to get SAGE running on it?

I don't think it will be much of a problem. If there is hardware around at dev1 I can certainly spend a day on the problem to get a minimal setup going that works on the eee. malb has already done some work there, so I expect little trouble.
