I see. I was a bit miffed to find that one can only get a single CPU in the VirtualBox virtual machines too. I hope they fix that at some point. I just bought some chess software, and paid extra for the multi-core version which runs under XP. Only problem is, I can only see one CPU. The same is true for Solaris 10 too. dave -- 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 URL: http://www.sagemath.org
