Thanks Keith.
Loading the versions that you pointed to worked.
As a new comer to Squeak, I find SqueakMap vs Montecillo quite confusing. I thought that stable versions were in SqueakMap. Wrong?

Right- ish (for non-moving targets the may be the case)
In this case the package maintainers publish a stable release every now and then to SqueakMap.
For those of us integrating more than one package, we tend to make fixes/tweaks to both of those packages in the process, but since we are specialist users this is not always sufficient to provoke the maintainers to go to the effort of a new release to squeakmap.
This is why I developed Installer, so that it would be relatively easy to publish a custom image generating scripts based upon with Squeakmap releases or specific/latest monticello releases.
I didnt go ahead and recreate the SMP image because someone else was doing it (they told me on IRC) unfortunately they later informed me that their machine crashed and they lost the work that they had done.
I am currently working on a system to automate the building and testing of specialist images. This automation works, but I am now adding the ability to have descendant images.
For example, If I take 3.9-final as a starting point, and build an image which adds a number of bug fixes to 3.9, we get a new image, lets call it 3.9.1. This in turn can be the new parent image for a number of children, of which a Seaside image could be one, whose child could be a Seaside-Magma image, or indeed in turn a Seaside-Magma-Pier image. In practice the important thing will be the testing of such images, so it will not really be necessary to generate every intermediate.
