Maybe I am missing something here also. The filesystem of the LiveCD is not read-only. You can write and change whatever you like in it while it is running. The only limitation is how much RAM and swap you have, and it generally is considered a bad idea to build completely in RAM but on the hdd instead (yeah yeah, if you have 4+ GB ram then you can but for the average computer...).
Read-only was a bad choice of words and incorrect. "usable" in that most users have between 512 - 1 gb ram. Thats not enough to boot the CD - and then untar and build more than say %25 of the initial chapter 5.
