Well you should have them, indeed you must have, otherwise your system would
simply NOT work.
Read the Changes file again take a beter note of what is typed there.
- Procps 1.2.9 ; ps --version
Simply typing 'ps --version' should return the version number.
A small note, 1.2.9 is recomended, i am still using 1.2.7 with kernel 2.2.4
of course i might run into problems, but at least i have not yet.

yes.

possably.

Of course otherwise you will have problems.
