Thanks for the information Bert.  In any case it looks as though I don't
really have a choice in the matter.  I'll stop the image, restart it
under vnc, change the admin address, confirm that I am marked as a
superuser, and then I think I will leave it under vnc for the moment
since maybe we should consider updating the version of SqueakSource.  I
really don't know anything about doing that.  So I would be appreciative
of any comments that you or Doug have about whether that is worth doing
and how we should go about it.

..../me starts doing above...

OK.  I've restarted SqueakSource under vnc.  Doug has the password.  If
you would like to take a look Bert, let me know and I can send it to
you.

I modified SSRespository class>>adminEmail changing the returned result
to the box-admins list and that seems to have done the job.

Currently we have a slightly modified version of SqueakSource-dew.152
installed.  The nearest non-dew ancester is bf-150, so it looks like we
are a little behind when that feature was added.
