=>How do you change the directory used for TMPDIR system wide?
=>
=>(It's Mandrake 10.0)
=>
=>I ask because the partition used by /tmp (the root filesystem... don't ask.
=>It's an old legacy system) is filling up FAST on an old machine.
=>
=>Thanks,
=>
=>Brian

Use the TMPDIR environment variable. Most things (especially things that 
you write) will honor it.
