I need more space for /tmp.  I though, easy, I'll just take out the /tmp

But then I discover that in my newly installed wheezy system, there *is*
no /etc/fstab entry for /tmp.  Apparently the kernel, all  by itself,
decides to mount the tmpfs on /tmp.

How can I get it not to do this?

in /etc/default/rcS:

RAMTMP=no


Or alternatively, how can I enlarge the tmpfs?  I need it enlarged from
anout 200M to about 2G for this week's project.  Yes, that's a lot bigger
than my RAM.

in /etc/default/tmpfs:

TMP_SIZE=2147483648

(I haven't tested this one though)
