Well, out of context, simply saying "/foo/bar" to someone who might not be intimately familiar with the Kernel's new "foo" virtual filesystem, doesn't really explain to them what it is or does or how to 'use' it. Could be an executable script, could be a directory, could be a binary file you need to run through some magic program/viewer. In this case, it just happened to be a text file you run through the not-so-magic "cat" (or "less" or "more", or you could even "vi" or "kate" it... whatever floats yer boat!) And, of course, fortunately this file is readable w/o root permissions, so that similifies things. But again, who's to know w/o being told, or knowing in advance. <snip> > Here's one final question.

Something to do with MBR (master boot record) or some-such. I'm sure someone else has already responded. ;) If not, maybe search vox-tech archives or Google for it. Good luck! -bill!
