Fwd: [Newbies] How do I start Squeak on Raspberry Pi ?

Please update Squeak 4.5 All-In-One so it works on Raspberry Pi with the default OS (which should be about as popular as OLPC).

In Terminal I entered ./squeak.sh and got a popup:

Error

This Squeak version does not support Linux-armv6|

[ok]

Also, for beginners, the download webpage should be updated.

1) Mention double-clicking on squeak.sh and other ways of starting Squeak in Linux, which are all different from double-clicking on Squeak.exe

2) Update or remove the FunSqueak Demo Image which requires beginners to do brain surgery to make it work. Replace it with a one click download. (Personally I saw no value in FunSqueak other than the name. So how about replacing it with a Squeak 4.5 preloaded to do all the things shown on the screenshots on www.squeak.org)

Thanks.

Please do not remove it :-P. Kirk, FunSqueak is an additional image,
not the standard one. It is only for those people who want to try it
and play with it. But you're right that it should be marked as
something extra, not the standard thing in order not to confuse people.
(Isn't the word "demo" enough?) Maybe it is not for beginners in this
case... I don't know, what other Squeakers think? Edgar?
