I had the same problem trying to do telephone 'tech' support with my
brother.  If you have broken up your hard drive into the 'generally'
recommended sizes, your /tmp directory will be fairly small (unless you
gave it it's own partition).  On my machine I avoided the problem by
having a large / partition.

Anyway, you will save much frustration by just downloading everything
manually, and then typing

rpm -Uvh *.rpm

in whatever directory you downloaded into.
