I never top-post. Look in the archive. Just this one
time when I innocently assumed that the thread would
never amount to more than a few lines.

No need to pump the outrage.

 Hi,
 
 does anybody know where the message
 you have cruft in /proc remove it
 comes from and what to do about it.

First: Don't top post!

Second: I don't think this is normal filesystem cruft like which is 
discussed in the forum. The proc (proc - Process information 
pseudo-filesystem) filesystem contains information about the state of 
your system and the running processes and there are no real files in it. 
The same goes for /dev (udev) /sys (sysfs).

Is the message referring to the proc filesystem or the /proc mount point
before it is mounted? Do you see anything if you do

mount --bind / /mnt/tmp
ls -l /mnt/tmp/proc

No, i also scanned through /var/log/rc.log and do not have a single 
occurrence of message like this!
