Yes, but you have to use symlinks as someone else suggested. | Possibly putting /tmp in its own partition as well, but then you might as Sure, but if you use kernel 2.4 and have memory available you could use a ramdisk for /tmp. Then you wouldn't need any disk partition at all. | well isolation /proc for the same reasons too, no? No, /proc doesn't exist. It is a figment of your imagination :-). More precisely, /proc is a virtual filesystem. When you try and access it the kernel generates the data, on-demand. -D
