Hello,
I am trying to run InstallerShield installer, logged in as root, and I receive the following error:


Log file created by MultiPlatform installer @Fri May 19 16:04:16 EDT 2006

Free up the parition or specify a different parition to write temporary files using the command line switch -is:tempdir <tempdir>.
Temporary files will be cleanedup after the installation.




In essence, the installer is telling me that there is not enough disk space to copy the required files to /tmp. How  do I increase the number of 512 blocks for /tmp?I have over 3 gigs of free space on my root partition. I have tried other locations with the same result.
I retried running the installerwithout the disk space check;however, when the installer is copying the files to the a certain directory(/opt/Dialexia/Dial-Office/jre1.5.0_06/bin/java_vm) , it cannot copy any more. Is there a disk space quota set by default on DSL? Any relevant help would be appreciated.
