Hi team, I played about with manually allocating /var/tmp in a 5.7 install.
Twice tar has complained when installing from local disk with: < 512Mb /tmp > 512Mb /var/tmp I dunno if it's anything to worry about. Here's hoping a script(1) log doesn't bugger up this mail formatting...: Script started on Sat Aug 29 06:34:03 2015 $ tip palm connected >> OpenBSD/i386 BOOT 3.26 boot> boot /bsd.rd.57 ... .. .
