Hi Roland and Colin,

I'm trying to install Squeak on a headless FreeBSD box and I'm not sure what voodoo is currently required, if any. The key thing is that I want to be able to run a 3.7 image, which is problematic with the current Unix VM. So as far as I can see, my options are:
- Install the stock 3.4 VM Ian's site and do without the improvements he's made
since then - in theory I shouldn't need ephemerons etc.
- Use the current VMMaker to generate a source tree, patch it as necessary to
run the 3.7 image, copy it over to the FreeBSD box and build a VM from scratch. I've been unsuccessful when trying to do this on my Mac OS X box, but FreeBSD might be easier.
My gut says #2 is the better option, but is likely to be tricky. Any hints from the VM gurus out there?
I'm having this problem too. I have CC'ed this to the maintainer of the FreeBSD Squeak Port lang/squeak3 roland.jesse@gmx.net.
@Roland Could you please talk with Ian and get this thing running? It would make life much more easy! Please tell us, if we can help (e.g. testing the new port).
thanks Chris Burkert
