Hi! 

I just upgraded from Debian 12 to Debian 13.
Debian 13 apparently uses a tmpfs file, instead of the 
2 Gb /tmp partition which I was using on Debian 12, 
and which is no longer mounts automatically.

So, can/should I delete the old Debian 12 /tmp partition? 
And if so, what is the best (safest) procedure to do that?
