If you build the mydsl with a *.dsl filename, any included /usr/lib files should be copied into the DSL system without complaining about a read-only filesystem, since *.dsl runs mkwriteable which opens up the directories that start out as read-only.

You could try booting from livecd and Enable APT and then install the Debian Tor package and then use the deb2dsl script to convert it to a Debian package.

Tor version 0.1.1.20 is part of the Debian "unstable" repository and can be installed by changing your /etc/apt/sources.list file to point to "unstable" instead of "oldstable".

You can also directly download the package from here:

http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian....386.deb

and try dpkg -i tor_0.1.1.20-1_i386.deb

to install.

Okay then. I'll try those suggestions and get back to you all. Thanks for the suggestions by the way, I was feeling a bit frustrated with the process, hopefully now I can finish it up one way or the other.
