	My gut reaction is: what's taking up so much room?
	My /tmp contains 6 mbytes.  Even back when it was sharing space
on a 500 mbyte /, it only filled up on the rare occasions when something
went Horribly Wrong(tm) with a large compilation or backup.
	To the OP:
	See what you can delete.
	Then figure out what's filling it up.
	Respoectfully,
