"to memory" means: mounting a ~2 GByte filesystem [ tmpfs?, or ramfs? ], and put the "/tmp" on it. [ e.g.: 4 GByte ram in the pc ]. what to write in the "/etc/fstab"?
I would like to collect the [ answers too:P ]:

Can you tell us why you cross posted this to the Ubuntu mailing list? Are you just fishing for answers for your homework, like S. Mathis?

I was just about to comment on the similarity of this post to S.Mathias' posts but it appears I've been beaten to the punch.
I was so convinced it was indeed S.Mathias that was posting under an alias (the jury is still out), but checking the headers was not conclusive!
Cheers, Ak.

Unless Volvo makes motorcycles.......
He's question is pretty much related to Linux, not CentOS alone. It's a different thing it he wanted to move the /tmp folder on his MAC

I can not see the reason to why his question is being scrutinized. If I needed an answer whether it be homework or legitimate work I was doing, I would ask where ever I thought I would get the right answer.

There are people out there who prey on lists like this one to post questions that are either a) completely off topic or b) obvious low-level "technical" questions that only a student would be likely to ask. One of the telltale signs is cross-posting the same question to multiple similar lists, which gets brought up by those of us who are on more than one list of this nature, e.g., Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, etc.
This list is a little less picky about questions posted here that are at least somewhat related to CentOS, but others are not so lenient.
In particular, questions and discussions about basic programming or general Linux questions should be directed to more appropriate fora, since this list is specifically for questions that have something to do with CentOS. I, too, have posted off-topic questions here (many times), but I don't blast them out all over creation and I try to make sure they are marked OT.
Most recently, there were a spate of questions from someone "named" S. Mathias that were clearly being asked by someone with little or no development experience and which had nothing at all to do with the specific OSs in whose groups this person cross-posted. They looked suspiciously like questions one would expect to see on beginner-level programming classes.
That's my irk on this one.

Cross posting, especially such basic questions is frowned upon. It's a very selfish attitude, childish even, as in "I need everyone's attention and I need it right now". It shows you don't appreciate the effort people put into answering your questions and you don't care about wasting resources. If you post to the correct list your question will most probably be answered fairly quickly.
Please have a look at f.e. http://linux.sgms-centre.com/misc/netiquette.php#xpost
or put something like "cross posting mailing lists netiquette" in your favourite search engine. Do some reading about how people expect you to behave before posting to mailing lists.

Because I don't want to encourage such behaviour. Plus this wasn't even a reply to the original poster, but seeing how many people cross post these days I felt I had to point out this isn't being appreciated.

So rather than having one generally linux related question that you could ignore if you don't like, you think the rest of the list wants to see dozens of rants in response? Not me... The cure (which, by the way won't work) is worse than the problem.

Leonard, no offence, but sometimes people need to loosen up a bit.
If the OP, or anyone for that matter cross-post then it's probably cause they don't always get the correct (or any helpful, or any at all) answers for the various topics on the same mailing list.
Different people, with different experience / input / ideas / etc are on different lists. On one list he'll get something like "try google", on another list he'll get something like "for this problem, you need todo the following...........". And then every now and again someone with a bee up their bonnet about netiquete en HTML emails and this and that and a lot of useless info totally unrelated to the problem at hand.
If you feel THAT strong about a cross-posted, who by the looks of it in your mind should by hung or banished from the internet, then tell him how you feel OFF-LIST, to his private email.
Someone else might be looking for the exact answer, bow down to your holiness and not even post anything at all for fear of being beaten with a stick next time goes outside. Instead he does a google search, and find the answer, posted on one of the other lists where someone who's actually a bit friendly and helpful took the time to help the guy out.
So what if it's a homework assignment. Or if it's someone who's new to Linux or PC's in general and actually don't know what you've learned in the past 86years. Is it really that much trouble to help him, instead of stoning him?

Maybe the first time, ok, with pointer to the "standard" of netiquette on email lists.
Repeat offenders? No.

Good point. Though probably the prof would expect you to read the references on the subject. Generally one of the main purposes of an assignment is to get the student to become familiar with the written resources that are available and how to find them. Just finding the information is almosst secondary.
But, on the other hand, whenever someone posts a somewhat OT question there are far more irritating posts wasting much more bandwidth and reader time than ever got affected by the original OT or somewhat OT post - in the order of a couple of magnitudes more eg a hundred or two posts per each OT post. So, I'd suggest these self-righteous flamers find a good religious discussion to perform their cathartic ritual in.

But who are we to judge him, as to why he asks the question?
I would want to know this myself, for that matter since I'm experimenting with embedded PC's, running Linux on a flash disk, which has limited write cycles. Does that make me a school kid with an assignment? No. Maybe. Yes. How do you know how old I am, or what my agenda is?
I am out of school, by the way and don't need to write stupit exams to prove my experience or knowledge either. But, I don't know everything, and it's many times easier to ask a question to a group of people who might have already stumbled upon the same thing that I'm trying out for the first time :)
