I heard somewhere someone saying that you need some Gb for temporary files when compiling OOo on Gentoo. That was what I was worried aboutThat's what you set $TMP_DIR and/or ( I always use both as I can never remember ) $TEMP_DIR to change. Hopefully you get the chance to set stuff like this up in the install phase?
/tmp should only be used by the system, *not* by the user. As such, it only needs to be a max of 256MB or so. Users should always be using /var/tmp for their own purposes.
