Though that has it's own problems. I notice that Nautilus wants to use /tmp to create disc burning image files, you'd have to wade through gconf to point that elsewhere, unless you had enough RAM to do that off-disc. I don't know about other programs that make large temporary files. There's also a /var/tmp/ directory, but I've not seen anything make use of it. Though, again, you could mount it using tmpfs. -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.)
