Hi,
 can someone please tell me how to increase tmp size.
I am trying to install oracle 10 on solaris 10 but am getting an error 
saying tmp is not big enough.
Is it easier to make another temporary directory nad symbolically link to 
tmp?
If so could someone please help with the commands on how to do this, have 
searched the man pages with no luck.
regards
Eric 

There is an article here which outlines the steps
" 

here is the missing bit

Hi,
/tmp on Solaris is a memory based file system.
You can increase the size of /tmp by adding memory or increasing swap.
mkfile 200m /bigslice/swap
/usr/sbin/swap -a /bigslice/swap
Cheers

you don't need to increase the tmp size.
Oracle installer looks for a environment variable TMP and TEMP
and only if these are not present it uses /tmp for temp files

in your oracle account export TMP and TEMP with a path to a dir
with 1 or better 2GB free space and rerun the installer
