I'm trying to install StarOffice 5.1 on FreeBSD 3.2.  I printed off the
instructions from http://minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au/Misc/staroffice.html
that was posted on -questions yesterday (Sept 22, 1999), but I am running
into a problem with running out of drive space in /tmp.  
The actual error message is:

bash-2.03# pwd
/usr/local/src/so51inst/office51
bash-2.03# ./setup

/: write failed, file system is full

libvc1517li.so: write error (disk full?). Continue? (y/n/^C) Sep 23 05:17:51
freebsd /kernel: pid 5120(setup): uid 0 on /: file system full
Sep 32 05:17:51 freebsd /kernel: pid 5120(setup): uid 0 on /: file system
full
n	<-- This is my response to the Continue question

./setup: Could not unpack file: /tmp/sv001.tmp/setup.zip

bash-2.03#

The drive is a 2 GB SCSI which is dedicated to FreeBSD.  It is partitioned
as follows:

bash-2.03$ df                                                
Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on 
/dev/da0s1a     39647    19628    16848    54%    /          
/dev/da0s1f   1887746   500386  1236341    29%    /usr       
/dev/da0s1e     19815     2237    15993    12%    /var       
procfs              4        4        0   100%    /proc      

Is there an environment variable I can set to tell the system to use a
different directory as temp instead of using /tmp?  Or could I remove /tmp
and link /tmp to /usr/tmp?  What kind of problems could I run into with
that?

Hopefully I have provided enough information.

Thanks in advance.
