That's certainly your option, but it depends on how you use /tmp and how much memory you have. I personally prefer to have /tmp be persistent across boots so I use the SKIPTMPCLEAN=yes option in /etc/sysconfig/rc.site. Whether /tmp is a separate partition may also depend on other factors. For my SSD drive, I do use a non SSD partition for /tmp. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
