Why don't you symlink cp_tmp to some place that you have enough space?

The only solution I found that works consistently (and was given to me by
CP tech support after I asked them the "right way" to do it was to edit
the variables inside the script(s) to put the temp directories elsewhere.
This means you either copy everything local and edit it, or you copy it
all on some other machine, make the edits, try to test them, and burn a
new CD.
I don't remember the variable names offhand but it's not hard to figure
out. I had to edit the installer script and some ancillary script it
calls.
Since I've had to do this more than once, IMHO Checkpoint should patch the
scripts so that they check for the variables in the environment first,
something like:
[ ${CP_TEMP_DIR} ] || CP_TEMP_DIR=/some/temp/dir
Then you can "export CP_TEMP_DIR=/var/whatever" before running the script,
or will default to /some/temp/dir otherwise.
