Description Matt Domsch 2008-05-18 02:39:36 UTC 
Description of problem:
I would like to see /var/cache mounted as a tmpdir when using Live USB key with
persistence.  A 'yum update' will write data twice (consuming extra persistence
space and extra USB write cycles), first into /var/cache/yum, and later as RPM
writes out the files.

(Firefox cache should probably also be tmpfs/ramfs for same reason, but may be
trickier.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
whatever was in Fedora 9

Should probably also handle /tmp and /var/tmp the same way really.  

Have a couple of things that could work -- will try them out over a little bit
and commit something definitely for F10
