     But setting TMPDIR to /usr/tmp only gets part of the problem.  If
you try to edit a file that is too big you will fill root.  There are
two real solutions: 1) use a symbolic link between /tmp and /usr/tmp
(this seams to be the best solution); 2) repartion the disk to make
root bigger.
     Actually, doing both is a good idea with 3.3.  We installed 3.3.1
last week (actually our SGI systems engineer did) and the installation
stopped part way through because there wasn't enough disk space in root.
