Hm, strange. I'm wondering where this derives from. :-/

I don't have a 64bit machine nor grml64-medium_lenny_20090315.iso
available right now. If /var/tmp isn't present on a hd installation
it shouldn't be present in the live system as well. Can you please
verify this, Tong? Do you know whether it's available in
grml64-medium-*sid*? (No problem if you can't/don't want to verify
it, I'll do it on my own as soon as I've access to an according
setup otherwise.)

thx && regards,
