Can I fix my problems by: 1) Changing the mount settings. If so I don't know which ones; I guess this is really a Linux question.
Yes. You need root permissions to override mount policy to allow running of executables from removable storage devices. In recent distros, this is handled by HAL sub-system. If your system has pmount utility, you can use its '-e' option: pmount -Ae /dev/blahblah label
2) Copying the necessary files onto the flash stick from my machine from which Squeak can currently be run. If so which files to I need to copy and where do I put them. If this is the solution perhaps a set of instructions somewhere on how to do this would be useful since other squeakers may want to do this. If instructions exist and I have simply failed to find them then my apologies.
I used the Etoys distribution. It comes with binaries for Lin/Mac/Win OSes. Then I put a KDE launcher file (you may have to change LABEL to suit your needs): -------- etoys.desktop Name=EToys Path=/media/LABEL Icon=/media/LABEL/etoys/icons/squeak.png Type=Application Exec=sh etoys/etoys.sh --------
