increase space in /tmp

[Mark Neidorff <mark@neidorff.com>]

Is it possible to increase the space available in /tmp without doing the 
backup/repartition/reinstall/restore dance?

I'm trying to backup a dvd using k9copy.  It wants to have about 8 gig free in 
the /tmp partition, but when I set the system up, I gave /tmp much less than 
that.  k9copy wants to write to /tmp/kde-mark/k9copy* so I tried creating a 
link from /tmp/kde-mark to a partition with lots of space (while in single 
user mode since messing with /tmp when "X" is active can be dicey).  I made 
sure the permissions were correct, but when I restarted in normal mode, the 
system created and used a sub-directory under /tmp like 
this: /tmp/kde-mark6C5838b thereby circumventing my efforts.  Do I have to 
backup, repartition and restore or is there a better way?

Thanks,

Mark
