increase space in /tmp

Is it possible to increase the space available in /tmp without doing the
backup/repartition/reinstall/restore dance?
I'm trying to backup a dvd using k9copy. It wants to have about 8 gig free in
the /tmp partition, but when I set the system up, I gave /tmp much less than
that. k9copy wants to write to /tmp/kde-mark/k9copy* so I tried creating a
link from /tmp/kde-mark to a partition with lots of space (while in single
user mode since messing with /tmp when "X" is active can be dicey). I made
sure the permissions were correct, but when I restarted in normal mode, the
system created and used a sub-directory under /tmp like
this: /tmp/kde-mark6C5838b thereby circumventing my efforts. Do I have to
backup, repartition and restore or is there a better way?
Thanks,
Mark
