Hi Mathias. Adapting the MINT.CNF file should be enough. There should be a 
line like:
setenv TMPDIR u:/tmp

Change it to:
setenv TMPDIR u:/ram

and reboot. I won't hurt to also add or modify the TEMP line in the same way:
setenv TEMP u:/ram

(Don't quote me on this but I think TMPDIR is the traditional Unix environment 
variable while TEMP is non-Unix (though it may be the other way around).)

However, on my FireBee the u:/ram pseudo drive is always at 0 bites so I guess 
it doesn't help speeding up anything. I wonder what's going on there.

Cheers,
