Hi all,

Isn't "-T." supposed to tell all passes of a compilation to write 
temporary files in the current directory??  I am trying to compile
all of the V1.5 commands.  A few of the programs appear not to link.

I try this:

	cc -F -T. -D_MINIX -D_POSIX_SOURCE -S compress.c


And get:

	No space on root device (RAM disk)
	cmi4.s, 7: expr syntax err


I think asld should be writing temp files in the current directory if
I specify "-T.". Am I missing something?

How should I go about increasing my RAM disk size, if that's the only
option?  Ideally, I would like the RAM disk to empty, as my root file
system lives on /dev/hd3.  Can I skip the step where /dev/hd3 gets read
into memory?

Thanks,
