Re: /tmp size

[Michael Jinks <mjinks@uchicago.edu>]

First of all: check out the "df" command.  Then check out "mount".  Both
have manpages which should be on every newbie's reading list.

Chances are, yes, /tmp is a separate partition, but it's easy to see for
yourself.  

Meanwhile, I don't use xcdroast much but can't it be configured to
extract to someplace other than /tmp?
