Hi PhiHo--

Right, that's just what I did. You can see some of the methods I ran to
do that in class Apprentice.

No, to be really useful, Squat should *become* the mainsream. :)

Just the fact that very few people bother to do this. :) For those who
do, I think the Squat release site is sufficient.

No, most of the subsystems they affect have been *removed*. :) I think
you're slightly missing the point here. :) Almost all of those fixes
are things that one would load as modules; they're not needed just to
start the system. Squat is about only having what's needed to start the
system and load modules.
> Do they have support for package?
They have support for live modules, which is still a work in progress.
There is currently no support for SqueakMap.
> I love to load a package loader and SM into the minimal.image ;-)
Sure! Please write a module that enables that.
thanks again,
