Well, IMHO, you should add another drive (you DO need more space, don't you? ;) and make /tmp it's own filesystem. Option 2) There should be an option in the lynx.cfg file (in /usr/local/somethingorother) for where to put temporary files. 3) Don't hink ANY BSD can resize slice, but I know AIX could, even the version 3.2.4 I used to admin. No clue how, but maybe someone else knows? Maybe, if it works, we should integrate it? Dave?
