I've built a Debian package: ftp://ftp.ira.uka.de/pub/squeak/hanoi

The package contains the following files:

/usr/lib/hanoi/hanoi
/usr/lib/hanoi/hanoi.image
/usr/lib/menu/hanoi
/usr/bin/hanoi
/usr/doc/hanoi/README.Debian
/usr/doc/hanoi/copyright
/usr/doc/hanoi/changelog.gz

The package adds hanoi to the Debian menu-system, it can be started 
from the normal windowmanager-menu. (Games-->Toys-->Hanoi)

PS: It's a good idea to do "trip hanoi", the VM is 303188 bytes after
stripping, down from 894212 ...
