Do you have a /tmp partition at that size? If so you can edit your /etc/fstab (just comment out the /tmp line) or just try to umount /tmp as root. It will then use your / partition.

unlimited isnt possible
a live cd uses all ram and a swap partition if its there.

i finally solved it by editing the /etc/fstab file by stting the /tmp folder to 1GB , then i could make the livecd
thnx

I hope your not thinking that live CD will now work on any computer because it wont unless they have that much memory install. And no one needs a 1gb /tmp.
