[Newbies] Installation Scripts

[stephane ducasse]

note that if you use Monticello you always have all your packages  
stored in your defautl folder as a cache
so you cannot lose anything if you publish on squeaksource, and do a  
backup of your disc since your cache
will cotnain all your packages.
