What is the best place for temporary files? I don't want to store anything on hard-drive, but in RAM. So after reboot everything should be lost even if I use changes= cheatcode. /mnt/live/memory/tmp? /run?

I use this
mount ramdisk /mnt/ramd -t tmpfs -o size=xxxM
xxx is the desired size in Mb
datas available in /mnt/ramd

/tmp works. I use the changes= cheatcode and everything there is gone on next boot.

^ /tmp/usm as well?

Yes. /tmp/usm as well.

Everything is gone after reboot because you use changes=EXIT: cheatcode (see /etc/changes-exit.conf), but it is saved for plain changes= cheatcode.

bour59 solution is fine, without defined size (mount ramdisk /mnt/ramd -t tmpfs) it is probably the same as it would be /run/newdirectory or /mnt/live/memory/new/directory.
Thanks.

Sorry tome. I thought the only difference between the two cheatcodes was timing.
