I've gotten Armory up and running without any issues on Gentoo, but thought I'd try adding it to SystemRescueCD to make a portable offline version that you can boot on any computer. I've documented the steps I used
here, but have run into a snag. It tries to start, but throws these errors:

It looks like it's complaining that some files are missing, but they're not:

Why would it do this? It looks like I'm 99% to where I want to be...how difficult will the remaining 1% turn out to be?
