Hi guys!
Congratulations for release and I hope you'll soon provide an All-in-One
package too, as there is for 4.2 still linked from Download box on
http://www.squeak.org.
All-in-one (aka One-click) is important for everyone to try Squeak
quickly, without need to otherwise figure out, how to install Squeak.
How to install an appropriate VM for 4.3? That's something even I don't
know, and yes, I don't have time to investigate that. All-in-one 4.3
would be more that enough for me. And I'm sure I'm not alone.
Best regards
Janko
