I got the BotIncPica running on the latest OLPC image. First I updated 
SqueakMap which in turn installs Monticello. Then I tried to load the

BotIncPica-Ned-sd.44.mcz but that would not load because of dependencies that could not be found. Then I loaded BotIncPica-sd.12.mcz and that loaded fine. I tested the 'square' with halt and that worked.
