[LBo] /var/tmp directory

[Andrew Henry]

In chapter 3, there are details of the contents of /var/tmp and that
this is the temp directory for the system, but on my Ubuntu 6.06
installation, there is also a /tmp directory that seems to be used as
the main temp storage area.  Is this because I have specifically setup
my system with a /tmp partition?  Is it feasable to make /tmp a symbolic
link to /var/tmp so that I can create  one partition for /var and not
have to create two separate partitions for both /tmp and /var?

My idea is that I want partitions for the following listed in order on disc:

/boot
swap
/
/home
/var

so that I can easily wipe my installation (root partition) and
re-install Ubuntu without having to wipe /home or /var where I have my
user data and log files (I basically want to always keep the log files).
