[Sunhelp] Qt

[Melinda Taylor]

Hi Brian,

The actual tmp space it uses /var/tmp. I just deleted the tmp
directory on var and then linked it to another drive using the following
command 'ln -sf /data/tmp /var/tmp'. After, I installed it, I took the
link away and recreated the tmp directory on var as I was unsure 
as to whether this link could cause problems later on....

Thanks :)

Melinda
