Not always. One have to select support for /proc/ and that one wants the used config support to be compiled in the kernel. The first is met by almost anybody's kernel, but the second might be missing, because it takes quite a bit unnecessary space (at least quite many people thinks in this way). I though have always used that, because through that I don't need to look up the options that I didn't turn on. ;) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
