[SqNOS] Networking is comming to a theater close to you!

[Johnathon Meichtry]

Hi Gera,

Excellent, I've downloaded 19 and will test it in the next hour or so and 
let you know.

I have not actually been using Monticello, I've been downloading each file 
from squeaksource and loading it manually for no other reason than wanting a 
local copy in case I needed to revert quickly without net access.

Loading the 16,17,18 etc has worked fine although each time I have had to 
"PCIBusEntry initializeVendorsAndDevicesMethod" to re-import the csv and 
then initialize.  Don't ask me why but it doesn't like the copy you imported 
into the ZLibData.  I know, we need to figure it out eventually or come up 
with another method but for now its fine.  BTW the ZLibData problem happens 
in both Monticello and FileList/Load.

I'll have also been re-building the VM with each release and also had no 
problems there.

Johnathon
