I put the explain on the wiki page.
I test and was listening my music when I saved, so I guess the info about my
file was saved also and of course in a different computer could't be
loacated.

If you have the SqueakDebug.log for each complain the image , please send me
as is a very valuable way to polish.

To this seems you don't load the last updates for SqueakLightII  from
server.
Again the SqueakDebug.log tell me some like

I on the way of having a "microUniverses" functionality for SqueakLightII
(see above)
You could be asked which packages you wish and a menu of package versions
the universes know for you choose and load.

I plan update the wiki page often and you could see the status from inside
of the image.

Being smaller and more modular means many you have on 3.9 or 3.10 lives out
of the image now.

In your case, you load mp3 and irc, but maybe another guy only loads the
LightWeb4.sar and have his own Comanche server.
Or could load the full Seaside +Plus.
Or load Etoys and nothing web related, etc.

Remember, is usable but still alpha.
