I think it would be very handy to have a CD that runs texmacs and maxima,
and could just be handed to students. While some students have linux and
a few have macintosh computers, most have windows (2000 or XP).
If I understand the setup now, there is nothing I can give
the students with Windows.
On my own computer I have cygwin+texmacs, and separately
maxima.
If there is an easy install package for texmacs+maxima on windows,
I would be very interested in it.
