Subject: how to increase space for tmpfs /tmp

Hi all,
I got this error, does anybody know how I can give more space to tmpfs ?

Downloaded, time 4575.50sec, speed 29kB/sec,
texlive-latex-extra-doc_2009-10_2011.20120322-1_all.debdelta
 Error: applying of delta for texlive-latex-extra-doc failed:  :
Sorry, not enough disk space (581788kB) in directory /tmp for applying
delta (needs 668963kB) (retriable)


I tried this command :-

$sudo mount -o size=734003200  /tmp


This gave me this :-

$ df -hT

   0  700M   0% /tmp


The only change I have done here is just masked/not shared the uuid
number of the disk. Even after doing this change I got the same error
as before. What's more now I can see two entries for tmpfs as well but
still a no go, any ideas anybody ?
