The size of /proc/kcore is equal to the amount of memory on your system. Take a look at /etc/fstab and you will see that it is mounted as proc, not /dev/hdxx. > 2) The .config file is not located in /usr/src/linux-2.0.36 either :( > How do I create this file (not empty of course). You create this with 'make config' or 'make menuconfig' or 'make xconfig'. I would suggest menuconfig or xconfig as the way to start. You could just run it and exit without making any selections, in which case the defaults will go into .config. > 3) What is a good simple public tape backup software package to use > and where can I download it?
