Right, tmpdir does evade the i-do-not-have-enough-space-in-/var/tmp
issue. Push comes to shovel, I really don't need to set the build_dir to
anything I can think of, rather then just use the
InstallationTarget.build_dir for any reference after I import
livecd-creator and create the extended InstallationTarget instance.

I'm not sure though what you mean by a) and b) though. AFAICT these
would never just happen because build_dir === build_dir, regardless of
what you set it to, or how you set it.

Kind regards,
