apt-get and /tmp
Hello, My /tmp directory is located on it's own partition and mounted as rw,noexec,nosuid. This is a problem for apt-get, which tries to run the preconfigure scripts for a deb from /tmp/config.*. Is there any way to tell apt-get to place the configure scripts in a different location? -- Robert -- -- Robert James Kaes--- Flarenet Inc. ---(519) 426-3782 http://www.flarenet.com/ * Putting the Service Back in Internet Service Provider * -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The usual idiom is to simply remount the partition, run apt and then remount the partition again. Same thing applies to people who like to have /usr mounted read only. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks for the information. I didn't know about the ld.so trick. I'll just remove the noexec option from the /tmp directory. -- Robert -- -- Robert James Kaes--- Flarenet Inc. ---(519) 426-3782 http://www.flarenet.com/ * Putting the Service Back in Internet Service Provider * -- msg04455/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
