On Vector Linux (Slack 13.37-based) I think I used pminstaller 0.1 to install PM4Linux 24.4.1.
Today I was going to go up to 24.4.2 (before finding out about v25) using 0.1.1 and it kept failing.
Tried 0.1.2 and it also failed. This was during the mktemp portion of the shell.
A little checking I see that mktemp was failing because the directory name to be generated needs six Xs instead
of the five used in the script ( pminstaller.XXXXX ).
The six Xs is mentioned in the man page for mktemp.
I see that pminstaller 0.1 didn't use mktemp. When I get back into Debian and the Xubuntu machines I'll see if
their mktemp behaves the same. If so then we're missing an X I think.

Re: pminstaller and mktemp
I get a successful tempdir creation regardless of how many X's I put. In Debian and CentOS, even 3 X's work. Anyway, I can afford a one byte increase to the script.
