    Admins,

    Thx for those who responded (I hadnt even seen the original post before I
    sent out Summary 1) :)

    I feel I should mention a few things....and what we tried....

    A few folks said link the /tmp dir to a new location.... I did not want
    to on a production system for other procs that are using files in tmp....
    and I could have done it with a reboot, but that is out of the question
    during the day.

    ...or link the directory which oracle uses to a new location... we
    tried this....it creates the /tmp/OraInstall....... dir with a timestamp
    down to the second. We actually were able to create an appropriately
    named link, then wait for that exact second to kick off the installer.
    After 2 tries of missing it by one second, we managed to get it on the
    correct second, however the Installer then just appended an _1 after
    the dir name, and still used /tmp (a valliant effort).

    Getting the correct variable name was the key...

    Thx to the responders

    Admins,

    Oracle's 9i runInstaller is failing due to running out of space in
    my 100 MB /tmp partition. I dont have any free extents on there to
    increase /tmp.
    I've tried setting the TMPDIR variable (is that the right one??) to
    point it to another location with no luck. Has anyone gotten around
    this?

    Thx,
    Dave
