		+	===Read-only file system===
		+	The live CD environment is completely read-only, which is a
		+	problem most of the time but very inconvenient if you download
		+	a stage without preparing a hard disk (or tmpfs) first.
		+
		+	Until a suitable workaround is found and implemented, please try the following.
		+
		+	====Workaround 1====
		+	Prepare a temporary directory in ram:
		+	{{Root\|<nowiki># mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /tmp
		+	# cd /tmp
		+	# wget ...stage3...</nowiki>}}
		+
		+	====Workaround 2====
		+	Prepare your hard disk on <tt>/mnt/gentoo</tt> and download it there:
		+	{{Root\|<nowiki># fdisk /dev/...
		+	# cfdisk /dev/...
		+
		+	# mkfs.... /dev/...
		+	# mount /dev/... /mnt/gentoo
		+	# cd /mnt/gentoo
		+	# wget ...stage3...</nowiki>}}
		+
		+	====Workaround 3====
		+	Pipe wget into tar:
		+	{{Root\|<nowiki># fdisk /dev/...
		+	# cfdisk /dev/...
		+
		+	# mkfs.... /dev/...
		+	# mount /dev/... /mnt/gentoo
		+	# wget -O- ...stage3... \| tar xvjpf - -C /mnt/gentoo</nowiki>}}
