No it doesn't. /proc is a virtual filesystem used by the system to keep up with what's what, what's where, and what's using which resources. Also, you cen use it to see these things. There's *nothing* in /proc, those files don't really exist. Try a "cat /proc/cpuinfo" or "cat /proc/interrupts" sometime. Just don't try catting (or anything else, unless you're a kernel god) /proc/kcore. kcore is the kernel's representation of your memory and is best left alone :) > Anybody know how you put one in there? You don't. Drivers are either compiled into the kernel or built as modules to be used as needed. Except for the PCMCIA drivers, which appear to be a completely separate package. DISCLAIMER--> I have never used a PCMCIA card before. I was just trying to clear up some things about /proc. I perused the PCMCIA-HOWTO (which lives at /usr/doc/HOWTO/PCMCIA-HOWTO on my system) briefly before writing this and PCMCIA support seems to be a rather complex issue. I will leave the rest of your questions to someone more qualified. By the way, hello to the group. I've been lurking for a few days, it's nice to meet you all (Hajimemashite!). I have just begun *thinking* about constructing a wearable and am sure that I will be bothering you all with questions at some point in the future. See you later, and good luck. -- Shawn Boyette, Programmer ------------------------------------------------------------------ "I would rather choose to have my leg bitten off than to buy NT" -- Rob Naberes, DNA Plant Technologies, on choosing Linux -- Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" to
