Hm, you're right, we don't really need to remove the category in the
update stream. It mainly needed to be removed when I created the 35
packages, so that it wasn't one of them.
Make sure that you're using a basic image, not a full image. Following
this new update stream with a full image will only invite problems, and
is probably pointless. (Ok, I just tweaked the 6675 warning update to
encourage people to start with a 3.9alpha-basic image to clarify this.
Yes, this image is not available yet, but it will be before we announce
the new process to the public.) I started with the
Squeak3.8-6665-basic.zip on the ftp site.
Anyway, I changed 6672 so that it only removes the three player
classes, not the category. Give it another try. (You'll eventually
hit the problem with SM-Base mcd file, but at least most of the
packages will load, and you can poke around the packages with MC, and
also look at the 6676 MCConfig update.)
