Other Help Topics :: Safe to remove all /tmp files?
I read in one of the posts that tthe /tmp files were supposed to be erased on reboot,but I did reboot, and their still there. Is it safe to remove all them?
Thanks
When DSL boot from LiveCD the /tmp folder is on RAM memory as /ramdisk/tmp. So when the computer reboot this and other folders are lost. However when DSL is installed to hard disk the /tmp folder is permanent.
Not problem if you want remove all files inside /tmp directory.
Thanks again, piccolo, yes I do have DSL installed to the HD,thanks for clearing that up ! I installed on a 300Mb partition, is there a way to tell how much space
I have left on it? I had to install jre for my poker room program, and was wondering. Thanks again !
use the command df -h
Thanks for the reply, mikshaw, I guess I'm driving this board crazy with all my noob questions,lol, but I have been making real progress thanks to you all ! I hardly even
need Windows except to play some games like Ureal, or Call Of Duty !
What I get is:
/dev/hda3 Size 297M Used 216M Avail 66M
/tmp/jre1_5_0 Size 84M Used 84M Avail 0 Mounted on /opt/jjre1_5_0
Don't know why this is because I deleted all the /tmp files and /opt shows
jre1_5_0 as 2048 bytes ! BTW Cool Avatar
