What is a good way to distribute squeak on a network (Windows network at my school) ?
From my understanding there is no option but to give each student their own personal image file but the sources and changes files could be left out. http://billkerr2.blogspot.com/2007/07/image-file-virtual-machine-bytecodes.h...
If I was going to give students both Bots and Squeak then this would result in quite large student folders, the image files range b/w 15 and 20 MB. But I don't see any alternative.
With Bots I get prompts about missing sources and changes files if I try to launch it outside of its folder, but it then goes ahead and loads anyway
Bots can be loaded as a project and is around 200k. Stephane is building a bundle for the XO machine with BotsInc. It would be great if we could make bundles work outside the XO platform so we could distribute projects as double clickable starting points

I'll attach some file folders so people can refer to them in an answer, if necessary:
BOTS (file sizes in KB unless otherwise specified)
.DS_Store 7 Bots.exe 1053 Bots.ini 1 luth.frm 13 Ready.changes 16747 Ready.image 14841 spider.frm 18 Squeak.ini 1 SqueakV3.sources 14202
ETOYS IMAGE AND PR
etoys.image 19609 DemonCastle1.pr 582 Launcher.pr http://Launcher.pr 210 Welcome.pr http://Welcome.pr 385 ExampleEtoys (folder) 6.44 MB
SQUEAK 3.8
Squeak.exe 1053 Squeak3.8-6665full.image 17969 Squeak3.8-6665full.changes 13878 SqueakV3.sources 14202 Squeak.ini 1 SqueakFFIPrims.dll 30 windows folder SqueakPluginInstaller.exe 6325

Well, the .xo bundles only really make sense on the OLPC platform.
The cross-platform format would still be projects (.pr files). Even on the XO you can simply click a .pr to launch it.

Ok, so double clicking on a project could be made work on other platforms as well.

It used to work on all platforms ...

Hm, maybe it still does, on machines with just one image file present... My machines tend have quite a few and that can confuse the VM which to pick ?? I have not looked into this very much ;-)
