I'm running off a single 380 megabyte disk that only has three partitions - /, /usr, and swap. I have about 600 blocks free on the root partition, but lots of space on /usr, so I run with /tmp symlinked to /usr/tmp (if I have to come up single-user or something like that, I remove the /tmp link and make a real directory). You don't have to. In single user mode (/usr not mounted), mkdir /usr/tmp. The symlink will work in both cases. When running multiuser, the single user copy will be hidden. BTW, I would recommend splitting that big /usr partition into more pieces. It gives you more flexibility. --Pat.
