Ideally searching for 'headless' on the wiki should lead to the
answer. It seems that is does not.

Which wiki pages have you tried so far?

http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/search?search=headless&casesensitive=false&and=true

And the same search for the mailing list archive.

On Linux

     man squeak

seems to give a useful answer.
