Poking around the /usr/src/Makefile.inc1 I see that there's a variable called "WORLDTMP" that seems to set the location for temporary files during the world build. My question is now: Is it safe to put WORLDTMP on a ram disk, for example tmpfs(5)? Looking at the build process it seems to me that the temporary files are no longer needed after make buildworld has finished? -Kimmo
