I am running out of space on /var/tmp where pkg_add likes to use as a "staging" area while it downloads. The man page says that if you use the -t option you can specify that it download to another location such as /usr/tmp/instmp.XXXXXX and it will download all it needs there. I keep doing this and pkg_add continues to download to /var/tmp and overflow the directory!!! Can anybody out there help please? -Adam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
