[aklug] Re: Self-extracting Archive

some apples and oranges there....
all -p does is add a prefix, and it is not universally
available.
mktemp -d /tmp/selfextract.XXXXXX
is going to do the same thing as
mktemp -p /tmp -d selfextract.XXXXXX
I believe.....

the XXXX is the reason to use mktemp in one sense, as it
uses the XXXXXs for a template, but mktemp will work (i.e. ,
create the directory you told it to create) if you do not
use this feature.
