Presumably not for base Comanche, yes? Just for ComSwiki. So you won't be able to run a ComSwiki from the base image, but you only have to download the ComSwiki bits. > Ted (who may still be > reading -- you there, Ted?) argued from the beginning that PWS should > somehow include its files in-image Me too. I actually did some work toward this for the nuBlue book but it's somewhere in the depths of my Hard Drive that I'm about to pack up :) I talked a little with Je77 about this, I think. >so that it'd be ready to go out of > the box. Comanche is more external-file-oriented than PWS, so the > problem is worse. Part of the problem with the PWS server files is that the were a bit hard to find. Having a good public place that squeak could autodownload from might do the job. We have better compression/archive tools in image right now too. > If we decide it's a problem. 3.3 assumes a Net connection, which > assumes that you can go download the rest if you want.

In some senses, ComSwiki is a extra (albeit a very very important one). (Plus, I'm struggling to de-filize ComSwiki anyway :)) Cheers, Bijan Parsia.
