I collected your VM off your ftp archive a couple of days ago.
The binary did not work because we are on Linux-Mandrake 7.1 which is a
glibc-2.1,
so I compiled the sources and installed by hand. It all goes well as a
plugin.

My 11 and a half year old son is, in a word, "captivated" by Squeak and
the EToys.

We have made a car race track and added a lake in which the car makes
splashing noises.

I am hoping to be able to interest Caleb's school in the whole Squeak /
EToy thing, but as
we are here in NZ and Internet traffic is not without cost, I expect
that I will have to set up a local mirror of Squeakland.org.

Could we do that please? Are there any special modules for the server or
is a "standard" Apache all right?

A couple of tiny bugs in the Squeak plugin are that the area of the
plugin does not quite fill the netscape browser window - tehre is about
2 cms of black around the right-hand and bottom edges, and when I go to
full screen i.e. "escape the browser" and then try to go back into the
browser we loose all our work. The plugin area of the browser stays a
very light grey.

Today I fetched the B3DAcceleratorPlugin stuff from the ftp archive so
that - hopefully - all the Alice stuff will work, but cannot work out
where the B3DAcceleratorPlugin sources are supposed to be put in the
source tree.

I would be very gratful if somebody would be so kind as to give me a
couple of hints as it's school holdays next week...
