I'm in the process of deciding on a partitioning scheme to use for my
MacBSD disk.

The question I have is what is the /tmp directory used for and what do I
gain by placing it on a separate partition as I have seen recommended here
recently?  How does /tmp differ from the swap partition?  And given my
setup (Mac SE/30, 20M RAM, 1.2GB HD) what size should /tmp be?  100M as I
saw recommended here recently be Collin?  Larger?  Smaller?

Thanks,
