    I believe you really mean it.

    from the tedious chores
    and put on a hacker hat.)

    Apparently, I missed the message you announced
    the location where you put that 240KB image.

    Would you mind to repost it.

    Cheers,

    PhiHo.

tomorrow with a VM that works (I'm too sleepy now).  Then it's easy to paw
around inside.  I have the scripts I used somewhere, too.  Yes, you can be
sure I removed allUnsentMessages.  Frequently ;-).

Kernel
There is a lot of separate interest in kernels which I believe can be
convergent.  Andreas has a draft in his 400k SqueakScript kernel, I'm just
now getting my 240k tiny.image out of mothballs, and various people are
playing with modules and SqueakMap in the hope of decomposing Squeak into an
image built up cleanly from a small kernel.  This has been on our agenda for
several years, hopefully now is the time to make it really happen.
