marking a package as installed

Hello,

I've been trying to install Baloon3D, and I'm stuck on the package VMmaker.
I can't get it with my slow dial-up connection, because the server keeps
disconnecting me after a while, so I had somebody with a high-speed Internet
connection get it for me. Now when I install it with Monticello, the Universe
Browser doesn't know that it's installed, and tries to get it anyway (because
it's a dependency of Baloon3D).

Is there a way I can mark VMmaker as installed for the Universe Browser?

Thanks,
Aidan

I've never been able to download packages within Squeak over a 56k connection; there's some bug in HTTPSocket. What I normally do is find the URL in SqueakMap or Universes, download the packages using wget or Firefox, and install it manually.
