files and dirs are deleted upon reboot, but some running programs might
depend on files that they have placed there.  Also, if /tmp is an
ext2/ext3 fs (on a separate part.), the lost+found dir should not be
touched.

make a directory in /tmp called "mp3s" or "iso" or whatever, and delete
it when you are done (or, it will be deleted on next reboot).
