I have run into this insanely annoying behavior before too. I have LOTS of hdd space but I did not give /tmp it's own multigigabyte partition, just an unreasonably large 800 MBs. I download to /usr/local/download, period. It exists on my system for downloads because it has LOTS of space dedicated to it. I a link to it in my home dir and have rwx access to this directory. I have been screwed by other apps downloading files due to lack of hdd space, however - all due to /tmp not being gigabytes in size.
A temp fix: do a "mv /tmp /tmp-old and creat a new /tmp that is a link to your REAL download location. Once the download completes, delete the symlink and mv /tmp-old to /tmp again. praedor --- Charles A Edwards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Fri, 25 Jul 2003 13:01:25 -0400 > Pierre Fortin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > WHY do browser writers insist they know more about > the operating > > environment than the user...? > > If you are going to use a browser to dl use opera. > > As to dl location both mozilla and galeon Will use > your selected > location But as you noted until the dl is complete > both use /tmp, > which is fine for most dls but for ISOs there will > not sufficient space. > > > Charles > > -- > You will be dead within a year. > ------------------------- > Mandrake Linux 9.2 on PurpleDragon > Kernel- 2.4.21.6mdk http://www.eslrahc.com > ------------------------- > > ATTACHMENT part 2 application/pgp-signature __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
