Great! That is what Dolphin Smalltalk has been doing since version 4, it installs to the shared location, and in the first run it copies the image to your documents folder (by default). Although I'm ok with "portable" way of doing it, it is better to be able to have the executable in a common location. That will enable Windows users to download "pharo" (and then predefined VM's), or run stuff like "apt-get install pharo-vm" Regards!
