:This might be slightly inaccurate, but is it possible currently, when
:using LiveCD, to write to the memory filesystem? (either mfs or tmpfs). It
:would be great. I often had a need in the past to create temporary files.

    Several mount points such as /var, /tmp, and /etc are writable when
    booting from a LiveCD, precisely because they are using a memory
    filesystem (mfs, tmpfs, whatever).

    Yes, it's convenient to be able to edit those even though they will
    reset on reboot.
