Hi, I don't know why /usr/bin/Self hasn't been created properly, sorry. First step, is whether you can run images. Can you double-click the SelfDroplet.app? It...

Hi, ... I've looked into the Self-4.4.pkg and apparently, there is no indication of that shell script whatsoever. I installed that package on 10.6, too and am...
Hmm. Maybe something is wrong with the installer as built. I have plans for a different approach to distribution of the Mac VM for 4.5 that doesn't require...
