Of course if you have a lot of memory then /tmp (or some part of it) can be a tmpfs
Not a good idea. Probably self defeating. Some applications make heavy use of tmp, and even heavier use when there is not sufficient memory to hold stuff in memory. As posted in another reply k3b is one of these. It will create multi gigabyte iso images in tmp and then NOT ERASE them!! Opensuse default partitioning scheme should probably be re-thought, to either move /tmp to its own partition, or make / (root) considerably bigger than the default recommended currently. Users installing for the first time are not in a position to guess future requirements when stuff is scattered all over in /tmp /usr/tmp, and some portions of what is in these so called temp directories is now expected to survive a reboot!!
