Thanks for the pointer to the ZeroConf. This is my first time using that. I'm used to the usual Ubuntu installation which provides a pharo-vm-x (GUI) and pharo-vm-nox (headless). The command line functionality is cool, but that's not what I want. By playing around, I figured out how to get --no-quit to work. I was trying ./pharo --headless --no-quit ./Pharo.image & and I needed ./pharo --headless ./Pharo.image --no-quit & I guess that makes sense knowing that --no-quit is actually to be processed by the script and not a flag for the VM.
Anyway, I think I got it figured out.
