the installer to a package later in the installer that does the actual

I'm currently using /tmp as a well-known location to pass messages in
text
files, but I'm not sure that's the best solution here. Additionally,
the
package that does the writing at the end seems to have trouble
installing files
to /tmp (I get generic errors, and the installer quits with no other
information).
1) Should I be using /private/tmp rather than /tmp? I'm not sure
which is the more appropriate location.
2) Am I approaching this all wrong? What are other people doing?
3) why won't files install into /tmp from the package I'm using?
Permissions on
original files? Should it matter for /tmp?
Grouping 1) and 3). Since /tmp is symlink to /private/tmp, is the
Follow Symlink option enabled in your package?
