Thanks for stating that opinion. The details were that I didn't choose to mount anything on /tmp, but that the installer did that automagically. So I'd say that the installer was at fault. -- Marcel Pol [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Was it a mistake in that he mounted the wrong partition as /tmp, or did the installer setup a partition to be mounted as /tmp? If you're doing an install from the hard drive, and it mounts the installation source as /tmp after the install is done, then this is an installer problem. Nothing should ever be mounted in /tmp. That's what /mnt is for. I dunno what the details were here, nor whether or not hard drive installs do this. I'm just stating an opinion.

That's what I should have chosen then. But i would have liked a virtual console at the default install. -- Marcel Pol [EMAIL PROTECTED]
