USB booting :: Getting gcc using APT

Hi,

I am running DSL from a USB pendrive and have selected the 'Enable APT' option from the menu.

I then use APT to install gcc. How would I get gcc to be backed up on to the pendrive when the system is shutdown? I have tried to add it to the /home/dsl/filetool.lst file, but then on reboot, after the restore stage, I get the following errors:

bash: tty: command not found
bash: cut: command not found
bash: : -eq: unary operator expected

So obviously some utilities cannot be accessed.

Am I approaching this completely incorrectly?

Thanks,

Rich.

Why not use the gcc1.dsl extension and have it autoload at boottime?

It is available at the myDSL repository.
