</div></div>Monticello loading is very fragile. In general, the only way to<br>
reliably install Monticello is to use the LevelPlayingField<br>
script:<br>
<a href="http://installer.pbwiki.org/LevelPlayingField" target="_blank">http://installer.pbwiki.org/LevelPlayingField</a><br>
<br>
The actual script to install monticello is this:<br>
<a href="http://installer.pbwiki.org/LevelPlayingField-Monticello15" target="_blank">http://installer.pbwiki.org/LevelPlayingField-Monticello15</a></blockquote><div><br>I was instead doing something like:<br><br>Installer sake addPackage: 'Monticello15'; install.<br>
<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Notice how it actually loads Monticello twice: first from a<br>
file-out, then from a .mcz package. This works around the<br>
fragilities of loading Monticello using Monticello. It is a<br>
bootstrapping problem.</blockquote></div><br>Thanks...is it "safe" to run the LevelPlayingField script multiple times in the same image, or should you "start over" when you need to do this?<br><br>And finally, how often would you recommend doing this with something as important as Monticello?<br>
