I have found out that Linux users with

     /lib/libc-2.2.5.so

(like me - I have Debian GNU/Linux), will not be able to install
(at least I was not able to install it) the

     Squeak-3.4
     Squeak-3.5

Virtual machines (as suggested on

     http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/388

I have updated my experimental page

     http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/2961

to take this into the account. Maybe it is the reason why you were not
able to install it.

Anyone still interested please look at it again and let me know
(if here are still some problems). I have taken into the account
some of the suggestions (not all yet). This should work.

I'll be back tomorrow.
