You don't want to go playing around deleting things in /proc . /proc isn't an ordinary filesystem, but rather a pseudo-filesystem where you have access to information on hardware/software details and the running state of processes. Essentially, it's a window into the condition of your running system. You _can_ adjust some aspects of your system's operation by manipulating elements of /proc. However, don't try to do this until/unless you know what you're doing. /proc/kcore is an image of your system's RAM state, stored in core file format. The fact that it's 160 MB reflects the fact that your system has 160 MB of RAM at its disposal. Because /proc isn't an ordinary filesystem, neither /proc/kcore nor any other elements take up disk space. -- Cheers, "Not only does the English language borrow from other languages, Rick Moen it sometimes chases them through dark alleys, hits them over the [EMAIL PROTECTED] head, and goes through their pockets." -- Eddy Peter _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
