make my /tmp folder bigger?
 
Id like to make a my /tmp folder bigger so that i can put more files in it. Whenever i put files in it i can only put a certian amount untill it says that the folder is full. Is there a way i can make it have more space?

Your partition must be full. You may just be able to create a symlink to a dir on another partition. Do you have extras space? What does the output of this show:
fdisk -l
mount
df -h

Moved: Linux -> General as this isn't network related.

/tmp is used as a temporary directory by programs.
YOU SHOULDN'T keep there your downloaded packages, as it is needed on runtime by programs, man!

Have something like /home/downloads or /opt/downloads and give it 5 gigs, but let /tmp alone !

I dont store music in the /tmp folder i just use it transport music from my win98 to this one. I have made a folder to store my music but cannot acces it on the win98, it says its a restricted folder.
