Hello folks, just wanted to say that Magma is quite stable and that, when used
as directed, seems to work well and reliably.  I have not used it under any
platform except Windows, but I know Avi has tested it under Linux.

Yes, when you create a repository, the path where you are creating it needs to
exist.

And, yes, Squeak's Socket framework cannot survive an image save (e.g., any
listening Sockets will be terminated).  Why did you save the image with the
Magma server running?  I believe the documentation on the Swiki says you should
send #shutdown to the Magma server when you're done using it.  This is presumed
to be before you save the image.

Regards,
  Chris
