The /proc filesystem consists entirely of virtual files created by the kernel for various purposes. kcore happens to be an image of the system memory; it's probably useful for kernel debugging. If you check with 'ls -l', /proc/kcore should have the same size as your system memory, but the "file" doesn't actually take up any disk space anywhere. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
