I made an ugly port of Squeak to GGI.
The idea was to have a "SqueakOS" in one disk using GGI, but the size of
the Svgalib library is smaller than GGI.

We made an alpha-alpha version with Alejandro Weil of "Squeak in one
disk" with
graphical environment.

The disk boots an old Linux, runs a Squeak 2.2 with svgalib 1.4.0
in 800x600x256 and a relative big image (900kb)
(The boot disk is based on the hal91 boot disk of ÿyvind KolÂs)

The version 0.0.1 has some limitations:

* Incomplete keyboard mapping (pgup,pgdown,alt-x,etc).
* Don't support all the video cards.
* The mouse pointer is always a cross.
* bugs.

You can download this version from:
