Hey, is it possible to run this off of a usb stick rather than installing DF on a mac?
I'm tired of battling the 32bit/64bit issues on the Linux edition, and the Linux edition's refusal to run properly on non-ancient hardware as a result. I've tried emulating Windows (via both Wine and VirtualBox) to run the Windows version, no go. So, I figured I'd try the Mac version.
I have a MacBook for work, running Maverick. But since it's my work computer, I don't exactly want to install DF or the newbie pack on it directly... but it doesn't look like there's a way to run this off of USB, but I don't know why there wouldn't be. (the Linux version, for all of it's severe problems, doesn't care what drive it's on, and doesn't need to be "installed" anywhere. As far as I can tell, the same is true of the Windows version. So it doesn't make sense that the Mac version would require installation).
What am I missing here? Is what I want to do possible?
Thanks,

(P.S. -- I'm somewhat "new" to the mac, in that the last version of the OS that I was intimately familiar with was -- showing my age here -- 6.4. So, I apologize if this is a clueless question from the point of view of someone who knows the modern mac OS moderately well! Most of my experience in the past decade has been Linux and Windows, rather than Mac.)
