I'm new to Puppy and have only basic knowledge of Linux administration. I have successfully setup a full install of Slacko 5.6 to my 160G HD, and it is booting and running (fast!). Problem is I have only 750M free in /tmp, and this is causing issues with Firefox downloads, unpacking LibreOffice, and other things. So I would like to have /tmp just be a regular directory on the HD. (If it's possible to have it stay as a 750M RAM drive but automatically use extra space from swap area, as described in some documentation, that might work for me too. The only thing is that I can foresee /tmp filling up over time for a user that never reboots their machine. I read somewhere that Puppy might periodically wipe it? How often is that, and how can I verify that watchdog is running?) I think it would be easier overall to have it just use a normal HD directory, as the system is relatively fast in Puppy terms: Athlon 64 3500+ 3G RAM, 160G HD.
What config files do I need to edit to make this happen (permanently on every boot)?
Here is some output that might help you help me:
