#REDIRECT SageAppliance

sage-vbox

This page is about creating the Sage-vbox "official" VirtualBox appliance distribution of Sage.

Install

We start with a standard Ubuntu desktop install:

  • two virtual drives, one that is 1GB for swap and the other that is 64GB expanding for files.
  • one user named "Sage User" with login/password both "sage"

Packages

Change the mirror in /etc/apt/sources.list to mirrors.xmission.com everywhere, which is much, much faster.

Do this: 

apt-get update 
apt-get autoremove gimp gnome* openoffice* xsane pidgin transmission* evolution* brasero fluxbox gimp*
apt-get autoremove
apt-get install m4 make gcc g++ gnome-core gdm xorg gnome-network-admin
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
/etc/init.d/gdm start

The above gets us down to 1.7GB.

Then I install Sage, etc.
