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.

It's been a while since I used k-9 copy (a few months at least) but
I never needed that much space in /tmp. Poke around in the config
dialogs looking for references to /tmp and change that.

hm... it occurs to me that maybe you're trying to backup from one dvd
to another? And that's causing k-9 copy to want to store the file
temporarily, thus it uses /tmp. Why not just copy it directly to your
harddrive and then perform the burn as a separate step. just a
thought.
