We're almost there, create your images from the command-line with a very limited number of bash lines ;) #==================================================================================== VM=`pharo-shell-scripts/fetchLatestVM.sh` unzip -ou Pharo-2.0.zip -d . && cd Pharo-2.0 $VM -headless Pharo-2.0.image config http://ss3.gemstone.com/ss/ci ConfigurationOfCI --install $VM -headless Pharo-2.0.image save CI --delete-old zip -r CI.zip CI.changes CI.image *.sources #==================================================================================== there you go, a new image named CI with the given configuration installed.
