That's what I want to do. When I installed this system, I partitioned the drive into / for 'the system' 2GB /var for variable files 15GB /usr 10GB
/home already exists on another drive.
I want to give plenty of space for temporary files, so I thought it would be better to put the in /var/tmp.
I know how to do
ln -s /var/tmp /tmp
but I'm not sure where it should go. Inside /tmp or replacing it in / ?
Thanks for everyone's help.
Clear out everything in /tmp and remove the directory. Then create the symlink. It's probably easier to do this from a rescue CD, so there won't be any open files in /tmp to cause problems. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
