Oracle export and read only Oracle 8i database

When doing a whole database export from a read-only Oracle 8i database, got the following error near the end of exporting:

......
. about to export USERA's tables via Conventional Path ...

. exporting referential integrity constraints

. exporting synonyms

EXP-00008: ORACLE error 1682 encountered

ORA-01682: read-only DB cannot allocate temporary space in tablespace TEMP

EXP-00000: Export terminated unsuccessfully

Oracle exp uses TEMP tablespace while doing the export. So the solution is to open the database in normal mode, change tablespaces to read only except SYSTEM, RBS, RBSBIG and TEMP. Then perform the export.
