15 mins to migrate everything from my 3.10dev8.04.1 working image to a fresh dev8.05.1 using my Installer script.
This was mostly just waiting for downloads to occur and to answer ok to a few dialogs that pop up for certain changesets.

This included installing almost everything from http://installer.pbwiki.com (LPF, fixes, packages, etc.), FFI, Balloon3D, VMMaker, restoring several Workspaces to their saved- to-file contents, reloading all my own work from my local Monticello repository, applying a few mantis fixes, loading several other packages from SqueakMap, Universes and SqueakSource and some other changesets from my loacal drive to make generating a VM happy.

Could you post some examples since this worked so well for you? I simply tried:

(HTTPSocket httpGet: 'installer.pbwiki.com/f/LPF.st') readStream fileIn.

in a fresh sq3.10-7159dev08.05.1.image,

Which successfully stated:

"You now have a level playing field."

But when I tried to install FreeTypePlus from the Universe browser, it choked just trying to install FFI 3.9.1...

I need a recipe! Or at least a checklist! Building a Squeak image still seems very..."alchemistic" to me...right order, right image, right version...

Thanks,

Rob
