Hi Tim,

sorry to hear that you encountered troubles during your demo.

If I understand correctly we have already moved the blame from Metacello to a later step in the loading process, or am I mistaken? Could you send the do-its you were trying to execute so I can try to reproduce the problems here?

Best,
Tom

OK, that's interesting - and not at all obvious when you're desperately trying to rescue a demo!

The immediate fault was the Seaside error I've just sent a mail about (deprecation warning causing triggering of a deeper Seaside bug) and then one I still have no idea about (loading OSProcess with `Installer ss...` worked but following that with attempting to load Cryptography via `Installer ss...` lead to as-yet incomprehensible URL failures). You have to start debugging somewhere and seeing a load of errors in a foundational load system must inevitably make you suspicious of everything that follows.

OK,  now let's see what is actually happening with loading crypto...
