Hello everybody,
I am trying to install StarOffice on a laptop running Debian 2.2. I
have run into a problem in that StarOffice needs to utilize the /tmp directory
and there doesn't seem to be enough space for it. I don't have anything in
there taking up the space, it seems that the problem is that the directory just
isn't big enough. So, I thought, "OK, I will symlink the /tmp directory to
another directory" but I am having trouble. On the computer in question, /tmp
is off of the root partition (/dev/hda5). It appears that Debian won't allow
me to symlink the /tmp directroy to someplace else. I tried:
ln -s /usr/local /tmp
But that didn't work. That simulates the /usr/local directory as a directory
inside (ie: /tmp/local/
What I need is /tmp=/usr/local but when I type:
ln -s /usr/local /
Debian won't let me do that. Any suggestions for making more space for /tmp?
Thanks,
Bryan Walton
