909 | This is a virtual file system providing information about the status | ||
910 | of the system. "Virtual" means that it doesn't take up any space on | ||
911 | your hard disk: the files are created on the fly by the kernel when | ||
912 | you try to access them. Also, you cannot read the files with older | ||
913 | version of the program less: you need to use more or cat. | ||
914 | |||
915 | It's totally cool; for example, "cat /proc/interrupts" gives | ||
916 | information about what the different IRQs are used for at the moment | ||
917 | (there is a small number of Interrupt ReQuest lines in your computer | ||
918 | that are used by the attached devices to gain the CPU's attention -- | ||
919 | often a source of trouble if two devices are mistakenly configured | ||
920 | to use the same IRQ). The program procinfo to display some | ||
921 | information about your system gathered from the /proc file system. | ||
922 | |||
923 | Before you can use the /proc file system, it has to be mounted, | ||
924 | meaning it has to be given a location in the directory hierarchy. | ||
925 | That location should be /proc. A command such as "mount -t proc proc | ||
926 | /proc" or the equivalent line in /etc/fstab does the job. | ||
927 | |||
928 | The /proc file system is explained in the file | ||
929 | <file:Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt> and on the proc(5) manpage | ||
930 | ("man 5 proc"). | ||
931 | |||
932 | This option will enlarge your kernel by about 67 KB. Several | ||
933 | programs depend on this, so everyone should say Y here. | ||

951 | ---help--- | ||
952 | The sysctl interface provides a means of dynamically changing | ||
953 | certain kernel parameters and variables on the fly without requiring | ||
954 | a recompile of the kernel or reboot of the system. The primary | ||
955 | interface is through /proc/sys. If you say Y here a tree of | ||
956 | modifiable sysctl entries will be generated beneath the | ||
957 | /proc/sys directory. They are explained in the files | ||
958 | in <file:Documentation/sysctl/>. Note that enabling this | ||
959 | option will enlarge the kernel by at least 8 KB. | ||
960 | |||
961 | As it is generally a good thing, you should say Y here unless | ||
962 | building a kernel for install/rescue disks or your system is very | ||
963 | limited in memory. | ||
