When you say blast everything: Probably not /proc What about /dev? You'll probably say "What the hell a so newbie user wants to use tomsrtbt;o)!"

I'm trying to learn how to use loadlin,... I like tomsrtbt. So I wanted to try the way I said. I didn't know I would be boring this way;o). > Definitely search the mailing list archives and the wiki for > references to loadlin, as that option has been used somehow > successfully by others, though I do not use loadlin myself. I'll search again, but it wasn't clear enough to me.
