Interesting. Every MDV cooker system I've built for years has had this
option checked, and in every one of them /tmp *is* a tmpfs filesystem.
Several months ago in this ML (or maybe it was on a bug), somebody asked
what the checkbox did, and I replied that it made /tmp a tmpfs. Fred
said I was wrong. Now, I like the fact that it *is* a tmpfs, but if
checking the "clean" box during the install isn't adding that line to
/etc/fstab, then what is ? I'm not doing it myself.
