Hello, So I went out and bought a USB stick and installed puppy linux on it. I did the stuff I mentioned before to install Factor on it.
This time I also copied over the darcs binary and the /usr/lib libraries that it depends on. I was able to successfully pull patches from factorcode.org and update the repos on the puppy linux system. The way I figured out what libraries the darcs binary depended on was by simply running darcs and noting error messages about missing libraries. Then I'd copy the libraries from my hard drive into the running system. Repeat till darcs works. :-) So that was pretty much my litmus test for a portable, bootable Factor hacking environment. :-) I'm OK with not being able to rebuild the Factor vm on puppy linux. I mean, there is a development kit for it (gcc, make, etc) but that grows the system alot. Anyways, with no traditional compiler available, you're forced to see how far you can get with just Factor.
