are you sure ? proc is like a dynamic filesystem they aren't really files just virtual files that the kernel are displaying ... if you some how have whiped proc you can probuly just ... mount -o remount /proc n it will be fine... give ... mkdir /mnt/proc mount -t proc proc /mnt/proc a little seein' too ;) but no you should be fine .. as for /boot .. you silly billy :) hehe! and just be thankful you didn't get the wrong terminal and remove your current filesystem, lol Matt. > > Jim > -- > gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list > > -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
