[Newbies] Squeak installation

[Paul DeBruicker]

I don't know how to fix what you've described or whether an alternate
install would work.

Someone else may, and if so will likely chime in.


 IF there is not functionality you know you need in the versions of squeak
you've downloaded you might look at installing this:

http://code.google.com/p/squeak-fedora/

 or this

http://www.pharo-project.org


to get an operational smalltalk environment.
