I need more space for /tmp. I though, easy, I'll just take out the /tmp

the the space on the root partition, which has more than room enough.
But then I discover that in my newly installed wheezy system, there *is*
no /etc/fstab entry for /tmp. Apparently the kernel, all by itself,
decides to mount the tmpfs on /tmp.
How can I get it not to do this?
Edit /etc/default/rcS and switch RAMTMP=yes to RAMTMP=no.
If you're on a workstation, it should be fine as-is.
I can't agree with assertion that this default behaviour is fine. I use
"Eclipse" in my work, and yesterday i was ready to crash my head,
because Eclipse showed me an error that it had not enough space to
downloading and installing special plugin, which i was needed. I've
checked 10 times that all file systems had enough space, in the end i've
found the problem by doing `watch -n 1 df -h`. The /tmp folder (which
was mounted like tmpfs) was filling only when extracting of the plugin
was active. All I want to say, that sometimes this /tmp which mounted
like tmpfs can lead to problems which is hard to find.
