the df command listed various 'locations'. These included

tmpfs  815696  1352  814334  /run

none 4078460  0  4078460  /run/shm

none 102400  8  102392  /run/usr

Inside /run/usr I did find a directory for my user id and could use that as
the user. However I don't know what the /run/shm is for, so need to do some
finding out...

I did set up an explict ramdisc on another machine ages ago by adding a
line to the /etc/fstab file. But that fixed the size to 256 MB, which in
this context is tiny. System monitor says I have 8GB of ram.
