Right. The standard way to deal with tmp space for VMWare is to modify the "vmware" script to set TMPDIR to some place with lots of fast space. Couldn't this become a standard part of the VMWare port, with the location being something that gets tweaked at install time, possibly via a dialog? -- Robert Withrow -- (+1 978 288 8256) BWithrow@BayNetworks.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
