[Bug 50079] Re: CD Burner needs file based temporary directory

[frogzoo]

The default install won't even create /tmp, leaving it as a subdirectory
of /, ext3 normally. So for noobs, this isn't an issue.

What you say suggests that if you do a manual install, the installer
creates /tmp as tmpfs.

Seems to me people tweaking their filesystem layout should be able to
figure out that you need enough swap/tmp to burn a cd/dvd, and the
_logical_ place to find a temporary image would be /tmp.

Moving the temporary file will create endless confusion. If you don't
have enough space, the solution is increase swap/the size of /tmp, not
move the directory. Moving the temporary file to /var will result in the
same issues when it fills up, but be harder to figure out what's wrong.
It's also easier to increase the size of /tmp as it's based on swap,
than /var, which may be on its own fixed size partition.
