Can't install in a SD card #29

Closed RARCSousa closed 5 years ago

The installer runs just up until the end, then the blue screen comes up and the computer reboots. The SD card is the D: disk. After the reboot, everytime I access to the install folder, the same happens.

Sorry, I didn't see this earlier. For some reason I was removed from watching the repository.

Unfortunately I don't know what to tell you. There's nothing specifically about the installer itself that could do anything like that on your system, so a blue screen of death caused merely by running the installer is a problem on your computer with some drivers or something.

I would not recommend installing Sage on an SD card anyways. I don't think this will work. SD cards are typically formatted with some VFAT-like filesystem, and I'm not sure it will work well unless installed on an NTFS filesystem. It will also run extremely slowly.

If you want to bring Sage around to multiple machines I would recommend just putting the installer on a card but installing on each system you want to run on.
