Has anybody tried to use e.g. Brasero with it? Well, if you are burning a DVD, Brasero needs about 4 GB on /tmp -- not enough space in RAM or wasting a lot of disk space on having such big /tmp partition that is most of the time unused. Yes, you can tell Brasero to use some other space, but it obviously relies on volatility of the /tmp and doesn't clean after itself. I'm quite sure this is not only the case of Brasero. -- Vratislav Podzimek <vpodzime@xxxxxxxxxx> -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
