Does the livecd come with a compiler? Without that, it's going to be really hard to edit the system itself. Edit the configuration, maybe, but the system?

SVN::Simple::Edit(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				      SVN::Simple::Edit(3)

NAME
SVN::Simple::Edit - A simple interface for driving svn delta editors SYNOPSIS
my $edit = SVN::Simple::Edit->new (_editor => [SVN::Repos::get_commit_editor($repos, "file://$repospath", '/', 'root', 'FOO', &committed)], ); $edit->open_root($fs->youngest_rev); $edit->add_directory ('trunk'); $edit->add_file ('trunk/filea'); $edit->modify_file ("trunk/fileb", "content", $checksum); $edit->delete_entry ("trunk/filec"); $edit->close_edit (); ... $edit->copy_directory ('branches/a, trunk, 0); DESCRIPTION
SVN::Simple::Edit wraps the subversion delta editor with a perl friendly interface and then you could easily drive it for describing changes to a tree. A common usage is to wrap the commit editor, so you could make commits to a subversion repository easily. This also means you can not supply the $edit object as an delta_editor to other API, and that's why this module is named ::Edit instead of ::Editor. See SVN::Simple::Editor for simple interface implementing a delta editor. PARAMETERS
for constructor _editor The editor that will receive delta editor calls. missing_handler Called when parent directory are not opened yet, could be: &SVN::Simple::Edit::build_missing Always build parents if you don't open them explicitly. &SVN::Simple::Edit::open_missing Always open the parents if you don't create them explicitly. SVN::Simple::Edit::check_missing ([$root]) Check if the path exists on $root. Open it if so, otherwise create it. root The default root to use by SVN::Simple::Edit::check_missing. base_path The base path the edit object is created to send delta editor calls. noclose Do not close files or directories. This might make non-sorted operations on directories/files work. METHODS
Note: Don't expect all editors will work with operations not sorted in DFS order. open_root ($base_rev) add_directory ($path) open_directory ($path) copy_directory ($path, $from, $fromrev) add_file ($path) open_file ($path) copy_file ($path, $from, $fromrev) delete_entry ($path) change_dir_prop ($path, $propname, $propvalue) change_file_prop ($path, $propname, $propvalue) close_edit () AUTHORS
