r42 "not published yet"

Trying to follow along with the installation instructions at
http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/2657 I noticed some issues.
I was using http://ftp.squeak.org/3.10/Squeak3.10.2-7179-basic.zip for
the image.
I followed the "Installing Magam for SqueakMap" instructions.
First, I doubt that a newbiew would be able to locate the squeak map
application. I brought up an object browser, and even that listed to
squeak map objects (one was squeamap-ui). So it might be useful to make
that a little more explicit.
Second, r42 was not in squeak map when I launched it. It was after I
updated from the net, but again, the installation instructions don't say
anything about that.
Third, when I did to install the r42 release of magma tester, I got a
message that the code had not yet been published.
Finally, the description listed in the package loader for r42Final seem
off; they give release dates that precede the release of r42. Or are
those release dates for Squeak?
In retrospect I suppose Monticello would have been a better choice; I
just did what was on the page first.
I'll kick off the test and see what happens; I'm on Debian Lenny which
has squeak-vm 3.10.3+svn1902.dfsg-1. That's a bit before the known good
VM of 3.10-4.
