Unfortunately, I still learning by trying (and searching the forums). I am not familiar with a system.sqsh. Did I do something wrong?
Well the system file is basically what determines what system you're running... Ha, sounds simple huh.

Basically the older builds used the sqsh file system - so they were system.sqsh files. The newer builds use the ext2 file system, so the file is system.ext2. You're trying to use a very old build, so I'm assuming that was still using sqsh.

Long story short, those sqsh/ext2 files are all you really need from a Sense build to get Sense working - now that's no guarantee that everything else is going to work... To my knowledge, the Sense builds were abandoned long ago because they were very unstable and generally unpleasant to use.
