Edit detail for DoyenVirtualMachine revision 1 of 1

changed:
-
Following Mr. Tim Daly's suggestion, I have uploaded a virtual machine configuration file for the DoyenCD using VMWare.  This should allow to run  the  DoyenCD in different operating systems, especially Windows, allowing for a more easy demonstration of the [doyen] idea and the scientific software it contains (Axiom, Magnus, LatexWiki).

- The VMWare Player is freely available from http://www.vmware.com/download/player/

- After having the VMWare player installed you need to download the DoyenVMWare configuration:

          zip: http://alfredo.axiom-developer.org/doyen/DoyenVmware.zip       

          or

          tar: http://alfredo.axiom-developer.org/doyen/DoyenVmware.tar.gz

- After unpacking this file, place the doyen iso image inside the DoyenVmware directory created. You can download the Doyen iso image from:

          http://alfredo.axiom-developer.org/doyen/doyen-081306.iso

- Using the VMWare player look for the Doyen.vmx file and run it.

Doyen on VMWare Player is a winnner!

I am floored by how well the DoyenCD works under VMWare Player
on Windows! Here I am on Windows, just toggling between my
normal Windows desktop and Fedora Core linux running Axiom with
Aldor under the local Doyen Wiki. Or even running Axiom native
with full hyperdoc and graphics. And it all works. Fantastic.

The way VMWare saves and restores the state of the session is
a dream.

This is an absolutely first rate job. Very well done!

Thank you, Alfredo and Wilken.

For those insterested in trying with (free software) qemu, the
following commands worked for me (Debian sarge):
 
$ wget -c http://alfredo.axiom-developer.org/doyen/doyen-061906.iso

$ qemu -user-net -m 256 -cdrom doyen-062506.iso -boot d
 
I take the opportunity to point at new Debian based live-CD mastering
