I don't understand why you would need a separate /tmp partition. After all you have 7GB on your / partition. THere are chances that / is being filled while creating the meta packages and then it also tried to write ISO. Try selecting some other destination for ISO like your other FAT partitions etc. Also I think poking aptoncd on this issue developer would be good idea. By the way, DVDs don't come only in size of 4.7 GB. A double layer DVD is 8.54 GB and double layered double sided is 17 GB Onkar -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
