Ahh.. Magma isn't doing it for me. The first step fails:

  MagmaRepositoryController
    create: '/home/mikevdg/sq/myRepository.magma'
    root: Dictionary new.

I don't know how to cut&paste a stack dump, but it fails first with an 
error:
"MessageNotUnderstood: binary", and the offending message send seems to 
be in "MaLargeCollectionOfIntegers>>create:" which looks like this:

create: fileNameString
    file _
        (FileStream concreteStream new
            open: fileNameString
            forWrite: true) binary.
    self writeHeader

(FileStream concreteStream new) is a StandardFileStream, and the 
"binary" method seems to exist in that class.

I've got.. let me see.. a highly modified 3.6 alpha image, updated, with 
all sorts of things installed (Zurgle is just plain cool :-) ), running 
on a Debian unstable system. I've also tried it on the 3.5 image 
downloaded a few minutes ago from the website; same behaviour. If I keep 
trying to get Magma going, then I just keep getting other errors.

What is the current status of Magma (on SqueakMap)? Does it work for 
other people?
