That would only be temporary. I hear /tmp gets erased every time you reboot. I don't know though, I don't reboot all that often, and when I do I never think to check. pfred1@buck:/tmp$ du -h du: cannot access `./ksocket-global/kdm': Permission denied 4.0K ./ksocket-global 4.0K ./.ICE-unix 4.0K ./.X11-unix 4.0K ./ksocket-pfred1/artsd-samples 40K ./ksocket-pfred1 4.0K ./ssh-nAAQaG2428 4.0K ./orbit-pfred1 4.0K ./acroread_1000_1000 36K ./hsperfdata_pfred1 92M ./kde-pfred1 4.0K ./pulse-Ysv0z0nMpkBC 4.0K ./plugtmp 4.0K ./plugtmp-1 92M . pfred1@buck:/tmp$ Doesn't look too important to me. Not going to get a whole lot of disk space out of removing it all either. /var on the other hand can grow fairly large, and just deleting it isn't smart. ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
