Armoury Equiv for OSX, or LiveCD of osx...

I just set up Armory on Mountain Lion following these instructions:

thanks

but I am a bit wary of Brew

I installed only my last MBP and after that it had all sorts of issues and died, and I had to buy another

For now, the brew solution is the easiest.  To do it yourself without brew... sounded like a total bear!

I'm about to post a bounty thread in the Armory sub-forum, to encourage someone to help me make a distributable OSX package, once and for all.   I have zilch OSX experience, and people who do have OSX experience are struggling with this -- so it's way too daunting for me.

You'll see a thread, soon.  There will probably be $1,000 worth of bounty for it!

make sure you get a few indepnedants to verify it....for bugs and worse esp if you know zip about it.

There will be thorough reviews of it before it's accepted and merged.  Luckily, there's a lot of similarities between OSX and Linux... so it will be much easier for me to verify a correct solution than it will be to do it myself.

I'll be taking the "recipe" that the bounty-taker provides, and redownload all the libraries, and re-package it before I sign it.  I'll also make sure to get testing on a variety of systems.  But once a decent solution is found, even if it's got some minor issues, I can figure out the rest of it myself.
