How to tell the installer where to put temporary files?

843804Nov 8 2005 — edited Nov 9 2005
I'm trying to install the latest version (1.5.0.05) of jdk on a Linux box. My /tmp file systems has not enough room to store the temporary files, so the installer complains and writes
"Error writing file = There may not be enough temporary disk space. Try using -is:tempdir to use a temporary directory on a partition with more disk space."
Then I tried something like ./jdk_1_5_... -is /var/tmp and ./jdk_1_5_... -is:/var/tmp and other possible variants but with no results: the installer still won't work.
Could someone tell me how to specify the temporary directory?
Thanks
