Hi Günther and everyone else!

Sorry for being "offline" - I was down south in Sweden on a prolonged
holiday.

Well, I am not sure. I have ready through this thread lightly and here
are a few comments:

1. Nothing should take 1 hour. Especially if no TCP/IP is going on. :)

2. You wrote in one post that it is stuck in open:forWrite: - the stack
would be interesting to see but I presume it is trying to open the
changes file. It should be writeable, check that. One test you can do:
modify some code, like for example - browse *any* method and change it
in some way (add a space or whatever) and press alt-s. If that works
then the changes file is writable. It should now be modified and be
slightly larger.

3. Right, you will not find "krampe.se" in the code - the bootStrap code
first asks (using HTTP) map.squeak.org for the URL to the release it
should download. So it is not hardcoded.

4. When it is stuck - press alt-. to get a debugger and use "mail out
bug report" to send me an email with the stack. You can change the email
address in the window that pops up.

regards, Göran
