Hi Chris,
I just tried downloading the 10779 image from ftp.squeak.org and
ran in on the 4.0.3-2202 VM on Linux, then did an "update code from
server" without problems. What is the problem that are you seeing?

Regardless of the version we freeze at, the final release image
should be saved from a standard VM, not from a Cog VM. I can help
with this if the updated standard VM has not released when you need
to take this step.
