Hi Gavin, Welcome to Squeak! (and Linux) When you hit "save and exit", Squeak will try to re-write the image file and the changes file. These are the two files that preserve the state of your Squeak system, and you probably have them installed somewhere in your own personal directories on your Linux system. For example, on my Linux system I have these files: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/squeak/squeak3.7> ls -lt *5878* -rw-r--r-- 1 lewis users 14069740 2004-04-06 10:48 Squeak3.7b-5878.image -rw-r--r-- 1 lewis users 15739392 2004-04-06 10:48 Squeak3.7b-5878.changes Based on the error on your system message, it looks like Squeak is trying to write to its image file (the Squeak3.7b-5878.image file in my example above), but does not have permission to write to the file. Jochen Rick explained how to set the file permissions correctly to make this work. But based on your your reply, there must be something else wrong. If you can describe where your Squeak files are installed, perhaps one of us can offer another suggestion. Also, I suggest that you re-read the documentation and "readme" files for the Squeak Unix distribution. These give a good explanation of how to install Squeak on a Linux system, and you may be able to spot what is wrong by reading them.
