Do you mean starting a linux vm via windows-bash with DISPLAY exported to something like xming, or was something else done?
- fetching packages from github. (tar fail to create files with ':' in them, so downloading filetree from github fails). If the image/download path is located within the “unix file system” instead of “/mnt/c/*” then unpacking files containing $: should work. Downloading the .zip + unzipping instead of cloning the repo works but it will replace the $: with $_. There is also the possibility to do this modification by downloading the .zip into memory and “patching” the filename / install without using the file system at all.

What is validated is: - downloading the latest 64bits pharo vm from esteban - downloading the latest image from files.pharo.org<http://files.pharo.org> - opening the gui. What doesn't work well - fetching packages from github. (tar fail to create files with ':' in them, so downloading filetree from github fails). As far as I know of the process, running a 32bits image and vm should work too. Thierry
