i thought the files in /tmp were not necessary. i wanted to remove them. but since i wasn't sure, i decided to experiment before i did so. so i renamed /tmp to /tmp2, and created another directory called /tmp.
and then i found i couldn't start X. as soon as i restored the original /tmp, everything was normal again. why does this happen? aren't the files under /tmp supposed to be temporary and unimportant? here is a list of the contents of my /tmp: fileTLHj7C.htm install.log kde-guest <dir> kde-user <dir> ksocket-guest <dir> ksocket-root <dir> ksocket-user <dir> mcop-guest <dir> mcop-user <dir> orbit-guest <dir> orbit-root <dir> quit.blend mplayer-conf-16041-794-23598.c mplayer-conf-2530-829-16755.c mplayer-conf-29260-812-661.c mplayer-conf-32148-1504-16445.c mplayer-conf-6686-721-29439.c which of these may i remove and which should i not? thanks - t. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
