No, no. In 7.0, Manrake put PERMANENT files into /tmp.
Contrary wo what Chmouel said, it FAILED if /tmp was deleted and
re-created,
even if X wasn't up at the time, and even if you rebooted.
The easy fix is to re-install the font server.
(Of course, you must also re-create /tmp and all that, but the Mandrake
bug was much worse than that. It does appear, however, that it's fixed
in 7.1.)
