All you have to do is the following: 1. login to the virtual machine that you already have (login: login, password: sage) 2. sudo su 3. cd /usr/local/ 4. rm -rf sage # get rid of the sage install I put there 5. wget http://sagemath.org/src/sage-3.2.3.tar 6. tar xf sage-3.2.3.tar 7. mv sage-3.2.3 sage 8. cd sage 9. make # 2-3 hours, at least. Then you're done. No need to install another Ubuntu + vmware server + sage. Just use vmware player and what you've alread got. -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
