Icons in Unix

I know that when developing a server one should not be interested in
such trivialities, but, does squeak have any icons in the KDE/Linux
world? At the moment on my installation squeak is a X11 logo which just
feels so wrong.

I'm not quite sure about the latest squeak.org download, but IIRC the  
Squeakland version includes an icon, and even a menu entry ;)

Looking at the squeakland debian packages, the package "squeak" depends
upon squeak-image.gz rather than squeak.image. So refuses to install
(using KPackage on Knoppix)

no icons yet :-(

I can confirm that. That repository

        http://squeakland.org/installers/ux/debian/

has following problems:

1. package `squeak-vm' requires `libc6' version which is not available
on  Sarge (Debian stable) so it cannot be installed on Sarge.

2. package `squeak' depends on virtual package `squeak-image-gz' but the
repository does not contain package which would provide
`squeak-image-gz' virtual package.

So at least in case of Debian, those download links are useless. Do
owners of that page know that? Additionally:

3. there is a newer version of virtual machine (3.9) and the repository
contains older (3.7) one.



Anyhow, here

        http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/3616

are Debian packages which work on

        Sarge (Debian stable)
        Etch (Debian testing)

Those packages were created without heed to Knoppix but if Knoppix is
derived from Etch (Debian testing), they could perhaps work for you. If
you try them, please let me know.

PS: the icon is OK.

Thanks

It will probably be installed at
/usr/share/pixmaps/squeakland.png
I like it.

I made this packages for the squeakland. I used lex spoons packages,
modiefied the netscape plugin and adding a squeakland package.

I worked in debian testing environment at that time so the dependencies
do not work under sarge. So I rebuild it for sarge put the packages here:

the squeakland package package should work

Hi Jens

`squeak-image-gz' which is not available in your repository.

`squeakland' package cannot be installed because it depends on
`squeak-vm' which depends on
1. libc6 version which is not available on Sarge
2. squeak-image-gz which is not in your repository

Maybe I have made some mistake but as I see it, that repository is not
usable.




Your attempt is repeated (I believe more successfully) here:

http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/3616

and maybe also (sigh) elsewhere...
