not while running as kde and other stuff stores temporary files there. I also notice gtk-gnutella stores partially downloaded files in /tmp, so you want to watch for that. to see what files are currently open in /tmp you can: lsof|grep /tmp go to runlevel one and then you can. shutdown your X session (as root) /etc/init.d/xdm stop runlevel (will tell you which level you are in) telinit 1 cd /tmp rm -rf * (be VERRY BLOODY CAREFUL which dir you are in when you type this!!!!!) telinit (whateverl level u were in before, probably 3) > > > -- -- Nick Rout -- [email protected] mailing list
