My experiences in downloading Squeak

Greetings,
I have been in a bit of a black hole over the past few days in
attempting to get a version of Squeak 3.9 downloaded. I thought it may
be helpful to list what I did so here goes:
1. Downloaded Squeak 3.9 (web) from here:
http://squeak.ofset.org/squeak-web/
2. Did the following test on the downloaded image: "1 break". What I was
expecting when I did this is a Debugger but instead I got a "Syntax
Error" window with a bunch of meaningless text in the window (at least
to me it was meaningless).
3. Downloaded Squeak 3.9 (dev) from here:
http://squeak.ofset.org/squeak-dev/
4. Execute "1 break" and got the same "Syntax Error" window.
5. Downloaded Squeak 3.9 from here: http://www.squeak.org/Download
6. Execute : "1 break" and I got the normal debugger that I expected.
What I conclude from this is that there may be something wrong with the
download images at step 1 and 3 above.
My goal was to have an image with Squeak and Seaside and that is what I
think the link at steps 1 and step 3 offers but I suspect something is
not right - at least it did not work for me - and I can reproduce the
behaviour.
Eventually I downloaded the "One Click" image from here
http://www.seaside.st/download/squeak
and everything works as I expected.
If there is something wrong with the images at
http://squeak.ofset.org/squeak-web/ I hope that it can be fixed because
an image with seaside, pier and magritte is exactly what I was looking for.
Cheers,
Frank
