X-Mailer: Web Based Pronto Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Greetings; Regarding the instructions for "creating a directory /usr/tmp and creating a link to it" and "to mount an MFS RAM disk on /tmp, add the following line to /etc/fstab and then reboot or type mount /tmp:" in "The Complete FreeBSD" book on pages 88 and 348 respectively, does anyone know if some combination of that's causing permission conflicts in Gnome anyway? It doesn't seem to allow any file access through Gnome's file manager except as root, otherwise giving error message like "cannot create temporary command file!"
