It would be nice to be able to use DSL to build apps in open source. I am a beginner programmer and would love to boot from CD and save apps to a usb drive for installation later.

Any other people interested in a very portable development environment ? Or other ideas about how to do this would be appreciated.

Please let me know.

For simple development or compilation, you can use the gcc1.dsl extension. For "really simple" programs (e.g. "Hello, world!"), there is a C compiler (tcc, for Tiny C compiler) that is inside the DSL. You just need to learn how to use them.

You may not be able to compile many things with the base DSL iso and the gcc1.dsl extension because you need libraries and their header files. But you can learn to remaster the iso to make your own "portable development environment". See this thread, for example.

You can practice with the Python.uci extension. Granted it is old, but the basics hasn't changed much.

bittorrent-gui.dsl has the full, latest version of python included in it, iirc
