[gentoo-dev] Can not write to mounted filesystem.

[gentoo-dev] Can not write to mounted filesystem.

[Shane&Lisa]

Thanks for the cool distro.
I am only able to get so far in the setup though...

1) I set the root password
2) PCI setup
3) netsetup
4) create the partitions /dev/hda1 (made it bootable). /dev/hda2 (swap)
and /dev/hda3
5) mkswap/swapon etc....
6) mkef2s for hda1 and hda3
7) mounted these to directories I made /mnt/gentoo and /mnt/gentoo/boot

Here's the problem:

I get the stage3 tarball and it uploads fine, but lynx then says:

"can't write to file"

so I checked what's mounted with 'mount' and I see:

/dev/hda1 mounted on /mnt/gentoo/boot/ (rw)
/dev/hda3 mounted on /mnt/gentoo (rw)

hdparm says the drives are ok... I think. the only things it says is
'dma 1 on'

Have any ideas about what I'm doing wrong?

Lynx puts things in /tmp first.
You're probably out of space on /tmp which has very little space.
Can you use wget instead?
