No mount point on the minimal isos exists under /mnt where an installer can temporarily mount another drive to copy output of errors or created scripts that help them get around gentoo's installer limitations. Earlier tonight I had been fighting with links since links insisted on downloading an image rather than the stage3 file my cursor was located on according to speakup. I ended up putting the base url in a bash script along with an empty download variable then using another computer to get the name of the stage3 file and copying that into the download variable. Then I ran the script which used wget for the download. My latest mistake was to try to save that bash script since as soon as I left /mnt/gentoo everything on /mnt/gentoo went away and all I was left with was a lost+found subdirectory which was empty. I at least still have the four partitions remaining on the gentoo disk. It's also lucky I'm using drive sleds. The decision to remove lynx from the isos I think was not a good decision for screen reader users. Now I'm going to go back and repeat all of this stage3 download work and also forget to save that bash script.
