If you copy such binaries to pendrive, the chances are that it won't work. coz many libraries could be missing.

also the binaries in one system are usually built for the specific kernel version and processor (this is not a big issue though).

Yes, i know that the binaries may not work. my main interest is compilation on java. i intall java binary and then netbeans then netbean is not installed saying that java is not found. plz suggest a way that netbeans may discover java. no such problem occured in sabayon

No need to install JAVA from source. Just use an binary JDK installer from Sun's site. (its usually a .bin file).

32GB is a lot of space. Install the whole distro in there rather. More preferably, put a lightweight one with just your basic requirements.

Can you post the installation command, error transcript, etc. ?
